dilithium
Starship power source
Dilithium is a fictional crystalline substance in the Star Trek universe, used to regulate matter-antimatter reactions in starship warp drives.
The term occasionally appears in joking references to impossible or fantastical technology: We're running low on dilithium crystals, Captain.
In chemistry, dilithium refers to a real but unstable molecule of two bonded lithium atoms, rarely encountered outside laboratory conditions.
