    A mildly radioactive transuranic element used to power spacecraft and certain planet-bound facilities, named after real-world scientist Freeman Dyson. It is found all throughout the Milky Way and was discovered on Earth's mantle during the early 22nd century. However, it can also be synthesized. Dysonium fuel cores look like glowing, blue spheres.

    The two obtained the first isotope of this element, 234m Pa, that had been predicted by Mendeleev in 1871 as a member of the natural decay of 238 U: they named it brevium. A longer-lived isotope 231 Pa was found in 1918 by Otto Hahn and Lise Meitner , and was named by them protoactinium: since it is longer-lived, it gave the element its name.

    Carbon was discovered in prehistory and was known in the forms of soot and charcoal to the earliest human civilizations. Diamonds were known probably as early as 2500 BCE in China, while carbon in the form of charcoal was made by the same chemistry as it is today, by heating wood in a pyramid covered with clay to exclude air.
