Rishon is not a substance.
The rishon model (RM) is the earliest efforts to develop a preon model to explain the phenomena appearing in the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics. It was first developed by Haim Harari and Michael A. Shupe (independently of each other), and later expanded by Harari and his then-student Nathan Seiberg. (wikipedia 2011)
