rematerializes
Physically returns from nothing
Rematerializes means to appear again in physical form after having vanished or dissolved.
The word belongs primarily to science fiction and fantasy, where characters or objects might dematerialize (break apart or fade away) and then rematerialize elsewhere: The transporter beam shimmered as she rematerialized on the planet's surface.
Outside genre fiction, it occasionally describes things returning after absence: The cat rematerializes whenever food appears.
