Quantum dots are magnetically controlled matter to suit various ends, that consist of no nuclei, just the electron shell.  Since they are essentially atoms without protons, there are no limits on their size, and they do not exhibit lanthenide contraction.  So, pseudogold is not yellow, pseudomercury is a solid, and so on.  Elements created in this fashion are usually referred to with the 'pseudo' prefix.  Their primary use is in creating a perfect, monomolecular edge, and for defensive nets - usually referred to as [[screen]]s.

Stabilized atoms are atoms that, while normally radioactive, are inhibited from decaying through stimulation and monitoring, or sometimes other methods.  This is usually done to help facilitate better experimental situations, and rarely sees direct usage.

The principles of first order [[exotic]]s can be carried into the second order, at least for quantum dots.  This is used almost entirely for experimental purposes, however, since exoelectrons are far too valuable to be used otherwise.

Second-order [[exotic]]s make use of replacement protons, neutrons, and electrons.  They are typically referred to as exoparticles - that is, exrotons, exeutrons, and exolectrons - or hypoparticles - hrotons, heutrons, and hectrons.  Like all matter, they possess their own antiparticles.  They are referred to as [[exomatter]] and [[hypomatter]], respectively.

−
Despite having electric charge, exoparticles, hypoparticles, and standard atomic particles do not like to mingle with eachother - there is an additional, repulsive force between them, and they dislike bonding with normal matter, making them seem almost frictionless.  This is not perfect, however, and certain [[exotic]]s will trap and exchange electrons, allowing for some interaction, though this is limited.
 
−
 
 
−
Individually, exoparticles have a bit more third again the mass of their standard counterparts, and six times the electric charge, which compounds the previous by making them significantly denser than their normal counterparts, though they behave in a physically very similar manner.  Even still, this makes them a considerable improvement over normal matter in many respects.

* [[exohelium]]

Hypoparticles are not so well formed.  They are over seven hundred thousand times the mass of their standard counterparts, and possess twenty-three times the electric charge.  This makes them highly volatile when exposed to extreme temperatures, but this requires experiment, weaponry, or dropping them into a [[true star]].  Only six [[hypoelement]]s are possible.

Exotic matter is the term for strange, electomagnetically interacting matter. It comes in several varieties:

  • Transuranic elements are simply isotopes heavier than uranium. Hawkinium is the most notable of these.
  • Electronium is slightly newer - essentially artificial atoms, clouds of electrons lacking a nucleus.
  • Mirror matter is an unusual form of dark matter which is a reflection of ordinary matter, sometimes called being 'out of phase' and was considered as a potential form of stealth.
  • Hadronium utilizes mirror matter and high-energy reactions in order to form what amounts to a giant, chemically meaningful nucleus.
  • Exomatter combines the above three features into what some term call 'something actually useful' - as in, usable in everyday activities.
  • Neutronium is raw neutron soup. When it can be contained, it is generally used as a form of inertial barrier.
  • Quarkium Like the above, but significantly harder to contain.
  • Regalum warps spacetime itself to form its own reactions. While not always electromagnetically interacting, it often can, occasionally in rather novel ways.
