computronium
  24

Computronium or computronium would be a material (not yet non-existent) with its own computing capacity, which could receive, store, process and return information, since it would be of programmable structure. The original idea was to create matter capable of modifying its properties according to a user's instructions, but then evolved into sensory matter that modified itself according to the environment and circumstances. From here the physicists Norman Margolus and Tommaso Toffoli proposed in the 1990s a theoretical material with inherent computational power, which would allow to create objects that supported even an artificial intelligence, which they baptized computronium, by computer ("computer") neutronium ("neutronium, a material supposed but of existence not yet proven"). See hilozoism, pampsiquism, unobtainium.
