The polymerized lithium niobocene operates on the principles of piezoelectricity. A piezoelectric material generates an electrical charge when it is subjected to mechanical stress. Conversely, if electricity is applied to the same material, it will structurally deform. The polymerized LiNb alters its shape to a greater degree than any other known piezoelectric material. This allowed the for the incredible amplification of strength and speed required by Dr. Halsey for her MJOLNIR project. | The polymerized lithium niobocene operates on the principles of [[Wikipedia:Piezoelectricity|piezoelectricity]].

Because of this advancement, the design more closely resembles an actual suit of armor, as opposed to a powered exoskeleton. On one level the soldier moves the suit and in return the suit moves the soldier. This allowed for an incredibly compact design when compared to the previous incarnations.<ref name="ceti">'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', ''pages 114-117''</ref> | Because of this advancement, the design more closely resembles an actual suit of armor, as opposed to a powered exoskeleton.
