vibranium

Vibranium is a fictional metal from Marvel Comics, most associated with Black Panther and Captain America's shield.

It absorbs kinetic energy and vibrations, making it virtually indestructible.

The metal comes from a meteorite that struck the African nation of Wakanda.

In popular usage, vibranium describes any impossibly advanced or indestructible material: They'd need vibranium to build something that strong.
