| Deuterium | |
|---|
|
|---|
A hydrogen isotope, consisting a nucleus with one proton and one neutron, and an electron circling around the nucleus. Cryogenic deuterium is used as the primary fuel source for the fusion impulse engine reactors, and it is also used in Federation starships' warp drive matter/antimatter reaction. As matter deuterium is used, and anti-hydrogen (an anti-proton and a positron) is used as antimatter.

| Dilithium | |
|---|
|
|---|
 Dilithium is the only known element to be non-reactive to antimatter when subjected to a high frequency electromagnetic field in the megawatt range. The efficiency of the reaction inside the crystal depends on its quality.
While naturally occuring crystals had to be used in the 23rd century, monocrystalline dilithium can now be produced by means of epitaxy.
Dilithium crystals are the very heart of the power of the U.S.S. Enterprise. (TOS: The Alternative Factor)
The dilithium crystals allow you to control the reaction of the matter and antimatter in the dilithium chamber. (ENT: Bound)
