nvm I was wrong, metastable helium is better

Neutronium, just take it out of high pressure equivalent to a neutron star and it expands as well as undergoing beta decay. This isn't nuclear because it relies on the neutrons not being in nuclei at all.

How about carbon subnitride? It has the hottest flame temperature at about 5000C. Or strained bond molecules such as cubane?

of all the platonic hydrocarbonshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octane https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platonic_hydrocarbon#Cubane https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubane-type_cluster https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypercubanecubane is the most stable and energy dense. add some self-oxidizer to it and it stays stable. the platonic hydrocarbons become interesting for the same reason you want a highly dense fuel. the cubane molecule itself can be considered a cell of a crystalline structure, albeit with a node count of 1. when cubanse are arranged, stacked, layered, etc... they become hypercubanes. picrel shows a cubane node surrounded by another layer of cubane, making the early stages of a bulk solid crystalline fuel.of course liquid cubane is a thing, but most often it is stored in a frozen powder form. pumping liquid cubane is a pain in the ass, mostly due to the shear stresses imparted by a centrifugal pump, friction problems in piston pumps, and occasionally used with a pressurized gas to pump, but that is usually reserved for single-use propulsion.I've wrote about cubane on /x/ at length. it is mostly used in next gen combined hydrocarbon and field effect propulsion spaceplanes which spend most of their time planetside. the nuclear powered field effect ships are more space based since crashing one of those planetside would be a fuckin disaster.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmzCsJUH2m8this MFer is making it in his backyard. there is a better synthesis path using bismuth which mmay eventually become public. all it does is take a normal octane molecule and fold it up.
