beam up
Dematerialize and reappear
Beam up means to transport someone or something instantaneously, from the *Star Trek* transporter technology that converts matter to energy and reassembles it elsewhere.
The captain's command Beam me up, Scotty became a cultural catchphrase.
Outside science fiction, beam up appears humorously or figuratively: I wish I could just beam up to the meeting instead of driving.
