Fake NZT molecules from the movie limitless.
In the end, Eddie Morra creates NZT-49 (nootropic), leaving NZT-48 (fake nootropic) obsolete. NZT-49 permanently boosts cognition to a four digit IQ and is non-toxic. Continual use may even lead to a 5 digit IQ. Such a hightend intelligence would effectively lead to the cure for certain cancers and even the creation of new elements. Such elements would be in the "island of sability" and allow the person to become nearly indestructable.
The alternate ending is scarier. There's no NZT-49 in the alternate ending, only NZT-48. NZT-48 only temporarily boosts cognition to a four digit IQ. The toxicity is speculated to come from the thallanyl (thallium based) molecule. Such an error leads to fatal toxicity and permanent brain and body damage. Thallium also causes extreme sickness and death. Death! Thallium is HIGHLY toxic!
Here's NZT-48, or thallanylzirconio-methyl-tetrahydro-triazatriphenylene.
Here's NZT-49, or phosphanylzirconio-methyl-tetrahydro-triazatriphenylene.
Here's the ending of Limitless where he makes NZT-49 in the end.
Here's the ending of Limitless where he's stuck on NZT-48 and didn't create NZT-49.
Hypranootropics(super nootropics)
Nootropics(permanent cognitive enhancement)
Quasinootropics(temporary cognitive increase, little or no brain damage)
Pseudonootropics(fake nootropics. The effect is temporary and there's extensive damage, toxicity, and a host of side effects including high addiction potential, blackouts and brain damage)
I wonder if near indestructability and NZT-49 would ever become real possibilities. That would be so cool! :D %)
