Digravitic Material
A digravitic material is one which is capable of reflecting and/or focusing gravitational waves (gravitational radiation).
Digravitic effects originate from quantum-gravitational effects whereby acoustic oscillations of atoms in certain materials couple together, causing gravitational waves to reflect rather than simply pass through. These materials are found in nature, but were not noticed by humans until they began experimenting with quantum gravity and metric engineering at the outset of the Wormhole Rush. As metric technology advanced, these materials began to be harnessed and engineered for their properties, such as to reflect the radiation produced by gravitational conversion metrics.
A common class of modern digravitic material are the cavorites.
