Albium
From Ctss
Albium is a black, glossy member of the Braon group of chemical elements. It has the symbol Ab. It is not soluble in water under normal circumstances. Albium is a material first discovered in the Moon’s core in 1920, but it does not naturally occur on the Earth.
The properties of albium make it indispensable to long distance transport of steam. The material is ductile and malleable. Most importantly, the metal is a super-insulator which contains heat with almost zero loss of energy. In addition, the melting point is 700 C. On planet, albium is most commonly shaped into spheres or pipe systems which are used to transport steam energy with around 95% efficiency.
Around the year 2000 when the Black Revolution began, albium was considered as an architectural building material because of its efficiency. However, when exposed to sunlight and the Earth’s atmosphere on a regular basis, albium off-gasses a compound with a strong sulfurous smell. By the year 2002, most albium housing had been abandoned except by the most extreme environmentalists, who subsequently became known as Poopies. For most intents and purposes today, albium is stored in dark conditions and no longer used as building insulation except in very dark and cold locations where conditions can’t get much worse anyway.
