Yillnium
Yillnium is an ore found in the hearts of neutron stars. Its density is on par with the rest of the material in a neutron star, resulting in each cubic inch weighing approximately 10 Billion Tons (9,071,847,400,000 Kilograms). Yillnium is unique in the fact that it reverts to a pure energy form when cooled to any temperature below -150 Farenhight.
The limitation in using this ore is the ability to extract it from a neutron star.
The image to the left is an example of raw Yillnium ore.
The image to the right is a photo taken of Yillnium ore at approximately -149.9 degrees Fahrenheit.
Any further towards -150 Fahrenheit resulted in the destruction of the camera lens and equipment.

Properties
Material Characteristics
The surface of Yillnium is a Dark Cyan color that shifts in the light. As Yillnium approaches -150 Fahrenheit, the color of it shifts from a dark Cyan to an incredibly bright Cyan. Once -150 Fahrenheit is reached, any who have seen it say that everything becomes white, and all that can be heard is a sound similar to a large bomb being set off. This is due to the pure energy form of Yillnium desperately trying to find a way to 'sustain' itself, and ends up producing a mass quantity of light and sound.
Physical & Chemical Properties
One pound (0.453592 Kilograms) of Yillnium 'sublimates' into 1.26 mWh
given the density of Yillnium ( 1cm3 = 553,596,878,032 Kg), one cubic centimeter of Yillnium can sublimate to 1.5377962e+12 mWh at a rate of 0.88586694773 mWh per minute, per square centimeter of exposed surface area.
Compounds
None, using Yillnium in a compound most commonly results in the complete and total loss of both elements.
Geology & Geography
Neutron Stars
Origin & Source
Neutron Stars
Life & Expiration
10 million years While above -150 Farenheight
If at or below -150 Fahrenheit, Yillnium transforms into pure energy at a rate of 10 pounds per minute per square foot of exposed surface.
History & Usage
History
The Jarnik Incident:
Early in the establishment of safety protocols for the use and transport of Yillnium, the Jarnik race thought they had come up with the ultimate solution to storing and transporting Yillnium from space to the surface of their homeworld. They created a pod that would use the energy created during reentry to chill the Yillnium to -150 Fahrenheit and then use the energy produced by the Yilnium to facilitate counter thrust and stop the Yillnium from impacting the planet. The Jarnik's first attempt with this was made using 300 cubic inches of Yillnium rolled into a sheet that had a total surface area of approximately 33.4 square feet. They failed to account for the mass amount of energy, completely disrupting the chillers used to cool the Yillnium, causing the heat to stop the reaction of Yillnium, and letting the roughly 3 trillion tons of material plummet from space to impact their planet. Due to the incredibly unique and stringent requirements of the Jarnik species' reproduction cycles. The loss of their homeworld effectively ended their entire species.Everyday use
Energy Production, Typically for Class II of Class III Kardashev species.
Cultural Significance and Usage
Curently Unknown
Industrial Use
None. Yillnium tends to destroy almost anything it is attempted to alloy to.
Refinement
Current attempts at refining Yillnium for long term storage and use in other projects are currently unsuccessful.
Manufacturing & Products
None
Hazards
Produces insane radiation, the type of which has yet to be identified.
Reusability & Recycling
Not reusable. Not recyclable.
Distribution
Storage
genraly safe to store at room tempurature, so long as teh structure holding it can support its incredible wight.
Law & Regulation
Please check with your local authorities to ensure propper storage and usage of Yillnium in your area. We do not want a repeat of the Jarnik incident.

Ok - I just geeked out on this article and it'll be great with a good edit and more development! A couple items- the first mention of 150 deg F is not negative (typo), and 1.26 kWh is not much (1260 watts released over an hour), and a teaspoon of neutron star has a mass of 14 trillion pounds so I'd revisit those :-) Not criticism, but I found it interesting that you have to cool this solid to get it to release energy. I was really curious how they harvested this material from the neutron star too. Also, it seems like the gravitational field produced by it would create weird gravitational effects which could be quite unique and maybe be used to create anti-grav fields if you could find a material strong enough to hold it above the surface a of a planet. I really liked the idea of this.
I fixed the typo, looked again at the numbers, and even laid out energy conversion rates. As to why it has to cool, (I am not a physicist) but I would say that it has to do with the behavior of matter after collapsing into such a hyperdense state. Similar to how fluids seem to defy gravity when cooled to a low enough point. I though about adding that into the article but I read a paper on the physics of neutron stars and decided a certain amount of 'handwavium' was needed for any aspect of this element to work :)
Very cool! You poked my geek button so now I'm going to have to go learn something new this week! :-)
