In ENTERPRISE: "Sleeping Dogs", Travis Mayweather says, that - according to schematics in the Vulcan database - the Klingon Raptor Class scout vessel

has a with some kind of coherent molecular alloy reinforced hull.



What does that mean?

Could a coherent molecular alloy has something to do with a coherent molecule formation?

And if yes, what does that mean for the strength of the hull?

I have found with google some pages in which "coherent molecule formation" are mentioned, but what was explained there, was far beyound my understanding. There were too many technical terms I have never heard before in English and can't find in my dictionary.

Sadly, the to German translationed search term hasn't brought forward any findings in google.

It's part of superchemistry, where you stimulate molecules to form up. There's combining 2 bosons together to make the molecule. You can take something from an excited stated and it'll release the molecule as a byproduct of turning into it's 'resting'/unexcited state. And there's the thing where a fermion absorbs a boson to make the molecule. It's not cut and dry entirely, as I've just said, but that's basically what happens, from my understanding of the subject. Superchemistry hasn't been around for long, so there might be someone here that has a better knowledge of it than I. The alloy part may just be a normal alloy making process with just the superchemistry part at the beginning.
