In summary, The speaker, a 15-year-old, asks if they can still participate in the forum and ask questions. They mention a topic they read about in a book and provide a brief description of it, including its name, degenerate matter. The speaker is grateful for the forum's help in finding the name and expresses that researching it should now be easier.

Ok I have a few different questions that put every other forum here to shame. Mostly cause I am only 15. ^_^ I still can join and state questions and learn right? I am smart not very smart just smart. In a book I read they mentioned a particular matter that I have been searching for. I just want the naem of it so I can research it. However, I seem to have forgotten its name. I do remember the brief description.

It was along the lines of it is stronger than steel, nuclei detach from electrons and they then compress the electrons? That is about what I remember. Oh I think it started with an "M" but I am not at all sure about that part.

Thank you I guess for at least checking. I found it now. It was degenerate matter. lol I got a lot of the information switched around but I got it now. Finding information for it should be a lot easier.

Hello there, it's great to see a young mind interested in science and research! Yes, you can absolutely join and participate in forums at any age. As for your question, I'm not sure which specific substance you are referring to, but it sounds like you may be talking about a type of material known as "metallic glass." Metallic glass is a type of alloy that has a disordered atomic structure, making it stronger and more flexible than traditional metals. It is also known as "amorphous metal" or "liquid metal." However, there are many other materials that could also fit the description you provided, so it's important to do further research to narrow down the specific substance you are looking for. I would recommend searching for keywords such as "stronger than steel" and "metallic glass" to see if that leads you to the right material. Good luck with your research!
