    How about an opposite of foam, one that transfers heat almost instantly. I bet you could do some awesome stuff with that.

    Something similar to fiber glass. It stops temperature flow.
    -Tar = Solid, melts at high temperatures and cools on cold items. Doesn't melt certain items.
    -Grease = particles such as sand and dust slide or float over it following air movement.
    -Nitroglycerin and concrete (similar to clay) = C4 or dynamite.
    -Liquid Crystal = conductive liquid almost like metal and water in one.
    -Cotton = Burns well and can be used in candles or fuses. Also absorbs liquids.
    -Coolant = Had to bring this up again. So you can cool items without the liquid freezing, and you can make coils without ice getting in the pipes.
    Those are all I can think of.

    So Glass, sand and many other electronic elements have been added cool.

    Lockheedmartin has some great ideas for elements; hopefully some of them can be implemented in the next versions. Having said that, the current additions in version 36 are excellent.

    Ceramic could crumble from a solid to particles. Resisting temperature, so it slowly cools or heats.
    Coal = Heats up slower that wood and burns slower. Releases another element such as ash.
    Alcohol = Very flammable, but not explosive. Burns through plants, and wood. Or to compare it to sterilizing bacteria.
    Mirrors = Reflects photons and neutrons.
    Tungsten = Makes photons upon electric current.
    Crystal = So we can make transistors. And processors.
    I'm probably going to think of more.

    One thing that concerns me is the colours of the elements. We are sorta running out of colours. But then again, there are still many varientsof colours we can use.
    Lockheedmartin:

    Great idea.
    Lockheedmartin:
    Alcohol = Very flammable, but not explosive. Burns through plants, and wood. Or to compare it to sterilizing bacteria.

    Isn't alcohol sorta similar to another element in the game? I can't remember what element is similar, but still.
    Lockheedmartin:
    Crystal = So we can make transistors. And processors.

    So what else can this do? It seems too similar to Diamond.

    Diamond isn't conductive and plus it doesn't act like an actual conductor.
    And plus for glass we could have coal and sand melt into glass? Glass isn't just melted sand. It's coal and sand. (Yeah, I know this because of CMOG)
    Cesium = Gives off neutrons, under pressure the entire reaction happens.
    Colors are not really a concern, we could make thousands with only RGB system on TV. What about on Powder Toy?

    Would love to see what this does if/when we get humans

    On another note, is it a bug that you need two lines of material to do something effectively?
    For example, if I build one straight line of diamond and shoot neutrons at it, some neutrons still get past. Same thing for void.
    I have to build two lines of diamond for it to be completely indestructible.

    Imagine a thin sheet a diamond. Now if that was led neutrons would get past it. That's the principle that would be based on. Thin doesn't block all.

    one thing you have to learn is chemistry and realism

    Cesium is not radioactive, Francium is.

    mirrors can't reflect neutrons, only light because of its high refraction

    Tungsten can't emit protons because it wouldn't be tungsten anymore.
