Matter Conversion

Matter conversion technologies are of two major kinds:
[1] Conversion of one form of matter to another, using transmutation devices such as Deep Well Industrial Zones (DWIZ) and nuclear reactors.
[2] Direct matter-to-energy conversion involving monopoles, a technology that can be used for power generation, spacecraft propulsion and as a weapon.

Vast banks of solar power collectors which power multicolliders optimally designed to produce antiparticles. The vast showers of collision products which result are sorted magnetically; antimatter particles and other useful species are collected, cooled and held in electric/magnetic traps. - Boostbomb - Text by Todd Drashner and Adam Getchell

Conversion drives (or monopole catalyzed fusion drives, as they are more formally called) use magnetic monopoles to increase the efficiency of a standard fusion drive up to nearly 100% if so desired. These systems were developed by First Singularity transapients. They are currently the most commonly used drive for interplanetary or interstellar travel. - Conversion Technology - Text by Luke Campbell, Adam Getchell and Steve Bowers
