  Neutronium - Memory Alpha, the Star Trek Wiki
Neutronium is a material that exists primarily in the cores of neutron stars.
The high density of neutronium also generates a very strong gravitational field; at a mass of 3 times or more than our Sun, the gravity of a neutron star is so strong that it causes the neutronium core to collapse in on itself, forming a gravitational singularity (colloquially known as a fl hole).
Because neutronium is impervious to virtually all types of weapons fire, it is utilized by some species to construct practically indestructible structures.

  Neutronium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Neutronium is a term used in science fiction and popular literature to refer to an extremely dense phase of matter composed primarily of neutrons.
The term neutronium was coined in 1926 by Professor Andreas von Antropoff for a form of matter made up of neutrons with no protons, which he placed as the element of atomic number zero at the head of his new version of the periodic table.
In Peter F. Hamilton's The Neutronium Alchemist, neutronium is a component of a superweapon.

 Star Trek Vs. Star Wars - Neutronium
Neutronium is a term used to describe the substance thought to exist in neutron stars.
This neutronium soup is actually composed of the former protons and electrons of the iron core, which find themselves requiring too much energy to maintain their separation in the intense pressure.
It is, therefore, not a leap to posit that the required technologies for neutronium use are seen in their infancy in the Federation, but that these technologies have been well-developed by certain races, cultures, or groups, to the point that neutronium becomes a viable material for use in various applications.

 Talk:Neutronium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
I like it, neutronium, it's a cool term in itself, and I wish it could be out there for public consumption, but as the definition here stands it is inextricably linked to the term neutronium, possibly misleading and ultimately disrespectful.
Neutronium is a popular term for science fiction writers, often describing an extremely strong, extremely stable form of matter.
Neutronium is a real element that is difficult to place in the current periodic table because there is no place for 'element 0'.

 Neutronium Hulls   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Neutronium is commonly described as the densest material physically possible, and is only found naturally in Neutron Stars.
Whilst some sources claim Star Wars ships have a significant amount of neutronium in the armour, it is obvious this is not meant to be interpreted as a high concentration of neutronium atoms.
As the calculations above prove, the actual amount of neutronium is going to be a layer less than 10 atoms thick per meter of hull thickness (if it is incorporated as a separate layer of armour), or have a concentration less than one part per billion (if it is fully alloyed within the duranium).

 neutronium
Neutronium, of which neutron stars are composed, consists primarily of neutrons packed closely together.
Fictionally, neutronium is mentioned in at least four Star Trek episodes.
Neutronium is also mentioned in the ST:TNG episode "Relics." The Enterprise encounters not only Scotty from the original series but also a Dyson sphere, the interior surface of which is composed of a neutronium alloy which is virtually impenetrable.

Neutronium is the same as it is in RL anyway.
The properties of neutronium should make it fuse with the armor by itself, and then there's also the fact that so very little neutronium is used in the armor.
Neutronium is nothing more than atoms collapses under gravity to such density that their nuclear forces are destroyed, and the matter is reduced to neutrons, held together ONLY BY GRAVITY.

 Neutronium - TheBestLinks.com - Atom, Black hole, Chandrasekhar limit, Electron, ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Neutronium is a colloquial and often misused term for an extremely dense phase of matter that occurs in the intense pressure found in the core of neutron stars and is currently not well understood.
Because of these uncertainties, the term neutronium is rarely found in the scientific literature.
All of these uncertainties can be summarized in an equation of state which describes the pressure of neutron star material given a certain temperature and density.

 Neutronium see through? - Bad Astronomy and Universe Today Forum
Neutronium is the fictional material made of protons and neutrons, so it shouldn't be able to absorb photons unless I’m forgetting something.
And, Could all the electrons that were ripped off the atoms (that made up the neutronium) be confined in a magnetic bottle wall to absorb the photons.
That means, by the way, that not only is neutronium superfluid, but having any amount of it smaller than about a solar mass is really tricky, since it's not stable in any smaller quantity.

 The Nightstar Zoo :: View topic - Shields vs Weapons
Neutronium is easy enough to create given gravy guns and sufficient power to fire them; battleplates seem to use this technology to generate their own fuel and it's also a dandy way of removing evidence.
They go out of their way to point out that the reactors make their own fuel, and Howard has stated before that it is the product of the neutronium annihilation reaction (gravity) which is used for firing gravy guns and forming shields or propelling ships across the void.
Therefore, trying to use something not as heavily 'concentrated' as neutronium seems to be counterproductive if not impossible, especially if the reaction is supposed to generate gravitic effects.

 SF Citations for OED
Thanks to her indestructible neutronium hull, the flier was not injured.
The first cities were of neutronium, like those of today, but it was necessary to stabilize the neutrons with fields of energy; at core temperature, as you know, neutronium is a gas.
Far down the slope of the hole, halfway to infinity, a tiny mass of neutronium that had been Lilo was orbiting at almost the speed of light, releasing energy as it was stressed to the limits of matter before it finally decayed into oblivion.

 The Truth Behind StarGate: N
The term “Neutronium” is used to describe the extremely dense mater that makes up the core of a neutron star, which is thought to consist of closely packed neutrons.
In science fiction, armor, structural material, or similar things are made from it, despite the therotically extreme instability of neutronium under normal pressures (It is probally thought to be unstable since neutrons are unstable outside the nucleus and decay in about 15 minutes).
Neutronium is mentioned in at least four Star Trek episodes: TOS: “The Doomsday Machine," STV: "Think Tank," and TNG episodes "Evolution" and "Relics."

 NCCV: Neutronium Core Combat Vehicle (aka 'Knocks')
The primary structure of the NCCV unit is a spherical mass of stabilzed neutronium 4cm in diameter and massing some 2x10^12kg.
The outer surface of the unit consists of a layer of phased-array laser optics operating in gamma or X-ray frequencies combined with a 'fly's eye' optical sensing and energy receiver system sensitive across a wide range of frequencies.
Due to its neutronium structure, the NCCV can operate as its own reusable kinetic kill warhead, gamma-ray laser power source, and high speed processing core all at the same time.

 Neutronium - Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki
Neutronium was a heavy metallic element used in the production of durasteel as well as dura-armor.
The hull cladding of Acclamator I-class assault ships was impregnated with neutronium, as its ultra-dispersive characteristics allowed for high protection.
In popular scientific literature and science fiction, though rarely in formal scientific literature, the term "neutronium" is often used for the extremely dense matter at the cores of neutron stars.

 RSA: The Neutronium Hull Fallacy
Anderson attacks the alleged fallacy by examining the properties of neutron stars, and then concluding that the "neutronium" used in SW cannot be the same substance found in neutron stars in real life.
He claims that SW neutronium cannot possibly be neutronium because it shouldn't exist outside of neutron stars.
Second, neutronium is useful because of its density and theoretical superconductivity; it is a fluid substance and would obviously not have rigidity.

Neutronium cannot bond with anything else on a molecular, chemical level.
I would just assume that neutronium is some kinda of super element much like naquidah but probably not as heavy.
Thats why im saying that they ment something other than our theoretical neutronium, because what we call neutronium cannot bond (except probably gravitationally due to its emmense density, but that would act each humanoid replicator to act as a gravitational sinkhole attracting everything nearby).

 Mailgate: sci.physics.cond-matter: Re: Super Compressed Matter
Neutronium is not stable under a pressure less than that of a neutron star's interior.
The minimum mass of a stable neutron star is about 0.3 solar masses; lumps of neutronium of lower mass than that explode back to ``normal'' matter.

 Unshielded ISD vs Phaser fire. [Archive] - SpaceBattles.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Fact is SW neutronium is not defined at all and does not fit any of the factors that neutronium does and SW has never been shown to have the technology necessary to do some of the things ST can to keep it stable.
ST Neutronium has been defined as the same stuff as we understand it to be, therefore it is. The fact that in the ST universe they have some exotic way of making an alloy out of it does not disprove that.
So basically we can't prove that ST neutronium is the same as SW neutronium or vise versa, which in turn means we can't prove that the neutronium on SW vessels is the same neutronium that renders ST weapons ineffective.

 TrekWars - The Furry Conflict: Dura-Armor
Imperator-class star destroyers are plated with Dura-Armor, which is a substance composed primarily of synthetic neutronium alloyed with lommite and zesium.
Synthetic neutronium possesses most of the properties of neutron star matter, such as incredible hardness and high damage resistance, but in lesser magnitudes and without the negative side effects of natural neutronium (which makes it impractical for widespread commercial use).
Zesium is incorporated into the mixture as an ablation agent; its energy absorbing properties have seen widespread use in many military applications, from ground vehicle armor to body armor (zesium particles in the body glove worn by storm troopers help absorb and disperse the energy delivered by blaster bolts).

As for the title track, it's good 'ol Captain Calvert on the search for Doctor Alkad Mzu, before she retrieves her ancient doomsday weapon, the Neutronium Alchemist, and commits genocide.
In general, it seems as the colossal length of the series may be wearing on it's execution.
Although 'The Neutronium Alchemist' is full of action and plot development, it also has inevitable parts where the pace of events slows to a crawl, or simply loses it's appeal.

 Peter F Hamilton: The Neutronium Alchemist - an infinity plus review
Middle novels are, conventionally, the weak link: the first of a trilogy should be fresh and new, the final book should have all the dramatic impact of closing the plot-lines; the middle novel is neither one thing nor the other, and usually suffers markedly by comparison.
It seems to be arguing that we are all, at core, capable of the utmost brutality.
But the only cause of disappointment with The Neutronium Alchemist is that I will have to wait so long for the next thousand or so pages.
