teleporters

Location-skipping devices

Teleporters are devices or beings capable of instantaneous transport from one location to another, bypassing the space between.

The concept belongs to science fiction and fantasy: The teleporters malfunctioned and scattered the crew across the galaxy.

Someone who teleports may also be called a teleporter: She's a teleporter—she can be anywhere in seconds.
