Gateways - A gateway is an atom transmitter (matter transmitter also known as Mattrans). The way to operate a gateway was to enter a circular chamber which could fit easily ten people and sit on the floor and close the door. To stand would be to find yourself face first most likely with a broken nose and black eyes. The closing of the door set off the mechanism to run the gateway and it soon fills with fog and when our gang wakes up next, it is to find themselves in a different place. The theory is that the atoms are broken down to their individual selves, transported to a new gateway through light and sound and then reassembled as the person that was in the previous gateway. This project will be finished in 2 NS years. Once finished these will be mass-produced and used all over the Centurion Galaxy for civilian/government travel.

Interphaser- Interphasers are actually more difficult and time-consuming to assemble because of their smaller scale and because they function by engaging and interfacing with natural geomagnetic energies already in existence in the vortex points. The Interphaser opens short-cuts, back alleys of the continuum which the travelers use to step through three-dimensional space via the localized wormholes. With the interphaser, they input the co-ordinates, and phase themselves to the proper Parallax Point. Or, if they don't have the right co-ordinates, a couple of them can just use the Mantas to zoom to the desired location. This project will be finished in 3 NS years. These will be integrated into the Dratherian Power Armor. These will be used primarily for government use such as military and politicians.

All around us are tiny doors that lead to the rest of the Universe. Predicted by Einstein's equations, these quantum wormholes offer a faster-than-light short cut to the rest of the cosmos - at least in principle. Now physicists believe they could open these doors wide enough to allow someone to travel through.

Quantum wormholes are thought to be much smaller than even protons and electrons, and until now no one has modelled what happens when something passes through one. So Sean Hayward at Ewha Womans University in Korea and Hisa-aki Shinkai at the Riken Institute of Physical and Chemical Research in Japan decided to do the sums.

They have found that any matter travelling through adds positive energy to the wormhole. That unexpectedly collapses it into a black hole, a supermassive region with a gravitational pull so strong not even light can escape.

But there's a way to stop any would-be traveller being crushed into oblivion. And it lies with a strange energy field nicknamed "ghost radiation". Predicted by quantum theory, ghost radiation is a negative energy field that dampens normal positive energy. Similar effects have been shown experimentally to exist.
