* In "[[Phineas and Ferb]]'s Quantum Boogaloo", Phineas and Ferb need a wood and steel fusing tool, which apparently won't be invented for 20 years.
** In "Vanessassary Roughness," the element "Pizzazium Infinionite" is described as (maybe) having wondrous properties that could be used in the future to power generically-futuristic technology.
* In ''[[Teen Titans (animation)|Teen Titans]]'' the thief Red X used a suit that was powered by Xenothium, which was only described as being unstable and crazy dangerous,
* [[Futurama|Professor Farnsworth]] once had the crew deliver a single atom of Jumbonium - a tennisball sized "single atom" that doesn't seem to do anything beyond adorn a tiara. If nothing else, it's valued for its rarity; that single atom is worth more than $50,000.▼

* When Kowalski of ''[[The Penguins of Madagascar]]'' builds a time machine, he needs five grams of "[[MacGuffin|Macguffium]] 239" to power it.

* In an episode of the children's show ''[[Word Girl]]'', Chuck the Evil Sandwich Making Guy had built a giant sandwich press designed to crush City Hall. He claims it's made out of "super strong steel", and Word Girl is unable to damage it. Considering bending steel beams is usually like snapping a twig for her, it's somewhat ambiguous exactly what metal composition the press was constructed with.
