Adrikuan is a super unstable compound discovered at Caltech consisting of the element Astatine - 210 in the state of a Bose Einstein condensate, the highly radioactive Cobalt - 60 in the state of a quasi crystal and Krypton 74 that exists as a supercritical fluid. Expert physicists and chemists wrote a paper on the theorised compound but the heads of department at Caltech ordered that it should be retracted because no one has been abled to prove the compound's natural existence. The only evidence the outside world has that At7Kr5Co3 (written in its empirical, not molecular formula) exists is the brief availability of an academic paper but no other information is publicly available. The theoretical compound is believed (based on prediction) to be a powerful cracking agent and will have many applications in the extraction of hydrocarbons and other minerals from rocks. The compound is said to be named Adrikuan because of its roots. "Adri" means mountain or rock and refers to its desirability for extracting organic material. "Kuan" means wide extraction in ancient Chinese and refers to the efficiency this new cracking agent may have. This was a tribute to Professor 为林 PhD working at secret research Centre near Xiamen, China who discovered the potential uses of the new compound.
