Boridium was a substance used in Romulan and Federation technology.
History
Boridium power cells were used in the construction of Romulan mines which Enterprise NX-01 encountered in 2152. In 2154, the Romulans utilized a similar technology in the power matrices of their drone ships, although they were smaller and much more sophisticated. (ENT: "Minefield", "Babel One")
The Hill People of the Argus River region on Rigel IV used boridium for the blades of a kind of knife they produced; one such weapon was involved in a series of murders on Argelius II in 2267. (TOS: "Wolf in the Fold")
The Romulan prison camp on Carraya IV tracked prisoners' locations by using the energy signatures of boridium pellets implanted beneath the skin. (TNG: "Birthright, Part II")
In 2369, boridium was used in exocomps as a power network. (TNG: "The Quality of Life")
