Matter, antimatter, a variety of massless particles, energy, and force fields.
What is beyond the universe?
The main options:
1. Nothing. Just define 'universe' so it includes everything.
2. Space containing no matter and perhaps even no energy.
3. There is no such thing. Space exists only as relationships between matter, so if there is no matter, there is no space. I'm not joking. Some scientists seriously consider this.
4. There is no such thing. Space is expanding along with the material universe.
5. There is no such thing. The universe is a closed topology. I don't think there is any particular evidence to support this.
6. Conjecture whatever you like. We'll never know. It's beyond our event horizon. Imagine parallel universes if that tickles your fancy.

Sounds like there are 2 questions there:
1 - what is the universe made of. See the periodic table for all the ingredients of our universe. (there may other elements not discovered yet)
2 - what is beyond the end of the universe. This one's a little harder to answer. Einstein proved that gravity can warp space and time, and so the universe has a 'shape' that is affected by the the mass of objects within it. To visualize this shape, remove a dimension and think of our 3-d world in only 2 dimensions, as on a flat sheet. Due to gravitational warping, that flat sheet is being pulled around on itself. Now imagine the same flat surface, only now it's a sphere instead of a flat sheet. Basically, there is no "edge" of the universe from our (3-d) point of view because if you set out to find it, you should theoretically end up where you started from, even though you thought you were traveling in a perfectly straight line.

It takes time for light from stars to travel through space and to earth, so they might only be able to see what has traveled to earth so far. Because of this, scientists can only see so far out to space so from that perspective, space does has a stopping point although it is expanding according to evolution. Christians believe that space is infinite because it says it the Bible.
One component of the universe is dark matter. (supposedly......... Its pretty much just a theory though)

Matter, energy and space.
Matter come is all forms, and is generally comprised of quirks. Energy has four forms, which are 1. strong force 2. weak force 3. gravity 4. electromagnetic. Space is the stuff between matter and energy.

Matter, Dark Matter, and perhaps Anti-Matter (somewhere far away or highly sheltered). Also various energies and radiations...
As far as the 'edge' of the universe? It just ends... think of nothingness. An absolute state of nothingness, no gravity, no light, no matter... absolutely nothing (except the observer).

Everything is made of protons, neutrons, and electrons. The universe has an end.

Space is a stretching fabric, and it's stretching into nothingness.
