According to an academic thesis: "The so-called 'replicators' can reconstitute matter and produce everything that is needed out of pure energy, no matter whether food, medicaments, or spare parts are required." A replicator can create any inanimate matter, as long as the desired molecular structure is on file, but it ...
Replicators can create a lot of difficult things, but Dilithium is so complex that there would not be enough power to create it. The exception might be the use of Dilithium itself to create Dilithium, directly plugging the replicator into the warp core power.
A Star Trek replicator might be possible, but not nearly as soon, says Sarri — maybe 100 years down the line. Those replicators of the future could be useful in areas in beyond outer space. They could provide food in places where putting a chef might be dangerous, such as a war zone.
This is addressed on-screen. Latinum is a liquid that cannot be replicated. That is its source of value in the Trek universe. Gold is worthless because it can be replicated; it is just used as a container for the latinum because it's pretty and has historical connotations of wealth.
So if you attempt to replicate Latinum, all it would take is one out of place electron during the materialization process that could cause a spontaneous breakdown of the structure of the Latinum into more base elements. That could also account for why it is pressed into Gold.
Why Replicated Food Doesn't Taste Like Real Food in Star Trek (No Living Cells in it)
What Cannot be replicated in Star Trek?

Replicator rations were an energy-conservation policy instituted on the USS Voyager, limiting the usage of the ship's replicators for each crewmember. The use of rationing for the replicator was a policy that was not consistently implemented; rather, it was done when the ship's available power supplies were limited.
When Spock "makes" it, the CGI effect looked a lot like the replicator effect we see later on throughout the TNG era. But we know the 1701 Enterprise does not have replicators as they are not invented yet (or at least not widely used on starships yet). She has protein resequencers.
Reese, a corrupt and childlike android, created the first insectoid Replicators to be her "toys," but they were also capable of defending her from threats. As their creator, she also passed on to them her own design flaw.
The Prophets showed that discovery didn't necessarily have to ruin belief, and the superiority of non-corporeal beings made them gods in a way. Modern Star Trek shows haven't used them as much, but they are still part of the fabric of the franchise.
The Federation Council approved the request, and gave the Cardassians twelve Class 4 replicators so that the Cardassians could at least start building new power plants and factories.
Dilithium may be a fictional crystal from Star Trek, but in that world, it is composed of traditional baryonic matter (which is the stuff all the atoms and elements on the periodic table are made of) as well as complex subatomic particles which exist in subspace that allow the crystalline structure to form.
In reality, dilithium (Li2) is a molecule composed of two covalently bonded lithium atoms which exists naturally in gaseous lithium. Dilithium is depicted as a valuable, extremely hard crystalline mineral that occurs naturally on some planets.
Being the lightest stable neutral homonuclear diatomic molecule after H2, and the helium dimer, dilithium is an extremely important model system for studying fundamentals of physics, chemistry, and electronic structure theory.
The Stargates were created millions of years ago by an alien race known as the Ancients; their modern history begins when Egyptologist Daniel Jackson deciphers their workings in the Stargate film.
SG-1 defeated the Replicators in a number of encounters, by luring them to the destruction of the Asgard's most advanced ship, the O'Neill, by destroying an infested Russian submarine with explosives, by destroying the Biliskner and the pyramid ship carrying Apophis in uncontrolled reentries, and by destroying Reese to ...
Atlantis, also called the Lost City of the Ancients and the City of the Ancestors, Atlantus in Ancient, is a City-ship built by the Ancients several million years ago.
By the time of Star Trek: Picard, Worf has become a subcontractor for Starfleet Intelligence, having attained the rank of Captain and briefly commanded the Enterprise-E beforehand.
Obviously we already know that the Pegasus replicators were engineered by the ancients. And the milky-way replicators came from Reece, who was created by "her father".
It's never seen onscreen but it is stated in the TOS episode “The Apple” that they Constitution-class and this includes the USS Enterprise NCC 1701 can saucer separate in an emergency but unlike the Galaxy-class and the USS Enterprise NCC 1701-D being able to reconnect after a saucer separation the Constitution-class ...
The absence of the Borg from Deep Space Nine was explained in the novel The Siege, when a Borg cube tries to pass through the Bajoran wormhole and is destroyed by subspace compression; Sisko concludes that this event will cause the entire Collective to believe that the wormhole is unstable and would now avoid it.
Paramount has the original master footage. The explanation for why Paramount can't remaster these shows has been blamed on the expense of recreating the CGI, combined with the cost of rescanning the film at higher resolution.
