'''Smartmatter''' is a type of material often used in [[Forerunner]] construction. It is composed of self-assembling [[Nanotechnology|nanomachine]] blocks reinforced by energy bonds.{{Ref/Book|Id=WF|HWF|Page=82-83}} This nature allowed smartmatter to be "grown" in the Forerunner [[assembler vats]] in a manner similar to biological life - a process that would later be mimicked by the [[Covenant]] and their use of [[nanolaminate]] in [[Assembly Forges|Assembly Forge]] manufacturing. Growing creations in this manner allowed smart matter to assemble structures and objects with atomic-level precision, and allowed the Forerunners mass production of exotic materials that cannot exist in nature - including hyperdense masses.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=335}}
