Metamat M

Metamat M, or more commonly known as Monopolium, is an exotic material composed of magnetic monopole particles. It can form extremely dense structures compared to traditional matter, surpassing even neutronium in mass density. Monopolium structures are stable and will not decay or decompose.

Magnetic monopoles are naturally found in the cores of gas giants and in the photospheres of stars in minuscule amounts. Harvesting these particles are exceptionally difficult with the current technology available.

Artificial monopoles can be created via high energy matter-antimatter annihilation with low efficiency. The process is both expensive and dangerous, with nullcollapse a constant factor during these interactions. The Unipolar Research Facility, located within The Crucible, is the only structure within Order space that can produce artificial monopoles.

Monopolium can be theoretically utilized as ultra-dense armor as well as monopolium particle beams.

While inherently stable, monopolium particles can undergo nullcollapse if particles of opposite charge collide with enough energy.

In controlled laboratory conditions, collisions between two monopolium particles results in a tear into nullspace which decays within 12 nanoseconds. Collisions between larger monopolium structures result in larger and longer nullcollapses.
