Yes. When you asked this question that thing that is not made of anything existed in your figment of imagination. When we read your question, it existed in our figment of imagination.
Just to back up my claim that the notion of a thing that is not made of anything can exist as an imagination, Merriam Webster has defined 'thing' as:
1) a matter of concern : AFFAIR
2) DEED, ACT, ACCOMPLISHMENT
3) a separate and distinct individual quality, fact, idea

There are levels of existence other than physical/form. Does love exist? Sadness? Your thoughts? Dreams? Ideals? Beliefs?
These, of course, are made of something but not anything physical. It'd be interesting to learn the exact ingredients of a thought or belief. :-)

In a materialistic sense the short answer would be "No". Things that exist have a basic construction of molecules and cells etc. To take this concept one step further, things that we can't see still exist - they're just too small
for human vision. Bacteria and viruses for example require microscopes to make them visible to naked human eye. These objects still have a basic construct. We can't see "air" but it has a structure - therefore it exists.

Every thing is made up of some kind of matter, from the tiniest Quark to the planet we live on. There is some form of matter involved. I suppose that imagination would be made of nothing, but then again you have imagined it and that thought is made up of energy. So maybe you are right......things made of nothing could feasibly exist.

What do you mean? Are you asking whether things that are not made up of various components exist, or whether things that are made up of nothing exist?
For a list of things that are not made up of various components, see the periodic table of the elements. Each element is a basic building block, and all other things are made of these.
As for things made of nothing... ideas, space, and God.

Whatever that has not the mass,volume, and any characteristic of a matter and energy, is defined as "NOTHING" . "NOTHING", does not exist. The only form of "NOTHING" is its IMAGINARY concept in our thoughts.
The thoughts, Love, Beliefs,....are the RESULTs of the energy which has been produced by brain or cells.

Unfortunately 'God', 'Jesus' and 'Muhammad' are three things that are not made of anything but seem to exist (in peoples' minds)
