Teleportation

Teleportation is the process of travelling between locations via point-to-point spatial movement. This is an ability that can be generated through various hi-tech devices, but may also be used as a super-power. The science fiction genre is replete with endless tools, devices and theories used to effect instanteous travel. On Star Trek, members of the Federation Starfleet use transporter technology to "beam" from one location to another. This process is done by breaking a body of matter down to it's molecular components, transporting them via a carrier wave and then reconstituting them back itno their original form at the destination point.
