rematerializing

Reforming into substance

Rematerializing is the present participle of rematerialize—to take physical form again after having disappeared or dissolved.

The word belongs primarily to science fiction and fantasy, where characters or objects vanish and then rematerialize: The transporter beam shimmered as she began rematerializing on the planet's surface.

It can also describe abstract things returning to tangible form: Old anxieties were rematerializing as the deadline approached.
