transporter beam
Instant relocation device
A transporter beam is a device in science fiction, particularly Star Trek, that converts matter into energy, transmits it to another location, and reassembles it.
Characters use it to move instantly between a spacecraft and a planet's surface: Beam me up, Scotty.
The technology has become a cultural touchstone for teleportation fantasies.
