Psionics involve the use of the mind to alter or command reality, typically through some understanding of a deeper truth about the universe or command over a fundamental law of reality.
It’s pretty cool, but I have trouble thinking of media where it takes a prominent role. The few examples that come to mind are:
Star Wars - The Force Mass Effect - Biotics/Element Zero technology Stellaris - Spiritualist Ethos Warhammer 40k - Psykers/Orks
What are some other examples of psionics in Sci-Fi?
You can find the Kronenburg movie Scanners on Archive.org
Akira is another big one.
Names of some of the stuff are Telekinesis, Pyrokinesis (and Cryokinesis), Psychokinesis, Precognition, Postcognition, Astral Projection, and that one word for finding lost objects or dead bodies I forget. And sometimes Empathy.
EDIT: Dowsing!
Damn how did i forget Akira
And shiners from The Shining / Dr Sleep
Also Stephen King’s twin novels Desperation and The Regulators. And Rose Red. And IT. And Dreamcatcher, actually the film had a few psychics who were all actually really cool, imo.
Yeah King loves psychic powers
