    Anomalous Material

    Please, help me understand the meaning of "anomalous material" phrase. Does it mean that this is some kind of chemical compounds that make a new, artificial material that doesn't exist as a natural phenomenon?

    I dunno, but it might be temporal distortion via progressive metal. http://www.subjectruin.net/AnomalousMaterial.htm

    I think it would depend on the context, but in general Id take this to mean a material which deviates from what is standard or normal, be it natural or otherwise.
    More madness than method but it works for me.

    Yeah, something like that. Check here, but omit all the hits where "material" is an adjective.

    I reckon Ezri is correct here! Something that is "out of the usual" relative to the given subject.

    We have the analogues of "anomaly" ("аномалия") and "anomalous" ("аномальный") in Russian.
    I guess Rtyom is being inquisitive here and wants to know exactly in what way that material is anomalous
    Please correct my mistakes if you can, especially article usage.
