A highly advanced material, critical to ultra-sensitive detectors, relying on hyperbolic anisotropic effects to convert fine changes in local electromagnetic fields to optical processing signals. The fine resolution in mapping local EM fields achieved by such sensors would generally only be of use to scientists but may have military applications.
A special material emerging from the cutting-edge metamaterial labs, this sheeting is able to redirect a wide range of electromagnetic energies. It is a vital element of internal and external shielding for devices employing ultra high-energy emissions in the manipulation of spatiotemporal topologies.
ANNs preside over a starship's various electronics subsystems and keep everything in working order, rerouting power and processing when systems are damaged or go offline. This ANN is damaged but doesn't seem to be a total loss.
