Photon Atomic Energy (Photonic Energy for short) is a fictional energy source that is the main power source for the Mazinger Z and other related robots.
Professor Juzo Kabuto's expedition within Mt. Fuji led him not only to Japanium but in the volcanic area, nuclear fission from the elements within Japanium gave rise to a new kind of energy. The professor researched this energy noting the large amount of photons and how it gave off no pollution. The professor managed to reverse engineer the nuclear fission process that brought in a new energy revolution, surpassing nuclear power. The professor dubbed the energy Photonic Energy.

With Dr. Hell's threat coming into fruition, Juzo continued his research developing the Photon Engine for the Mazinger Z's power supply. The photonic energy makes up most of the Mazinger's features such as Koshiryoku Beam photon cannons and photon propulsion rockets.

Super Alloy Z (超合金Z Chogokin Zetto) is the metal alloy used in the construction of the main mecha of the Photon Power Laboratory, the first of which being the Mazinger Z. For a short while it was also used in the construction of the Balmos Q7 Mechanical Beast.

Super Alloy Z is made from a combination of different elements, the main one being Japanium. It is extremely robust (much harder and sturdier than steel), its unique molecular structure has no defects, and is highly resistant to hot and cold temperatures. Mazinger Edition Z: The Impact! gives it the ability to absorb Photonic Energy as well as a versatile metal that can be used to create many appliance including pickaxes, shovels, and strangely enough bamboo. While being one of the strongest materials known in the Mazinger universe, it is not indestructible as seen when the Mazinger Z suffered damaged after so many attacks. It is also vulnerable to high frequency sound waves that cause it to become brittle and break; this is overcome with stronger variants like Super Alloy New Z. There are also different variants of Super Alloy Z, though they are not often seen in the same universe.
