For the purposes of this article, tetryon radiation is defined as radiation generated by the bombardment of subatomic particles that can only exist in subspace environments. When these particles come into contact with normal space, they "exhibit erratic properties" | For the purposes of this article, tetryon radiation is defined as radiation generated by the bombardment of subatomic particles that can only exist in subspace environments.

Because of their random momentum, sensors can't track these particles. | ||
Though Borg nanotechnology is one of the most well-known examples, this technology is simply miniature machines programmed to fulfill a specific function. This particular technology is commonly used in Federation isolinear circuitry found aboard 24th century Federation vessels. This type of circuitry replaced duotronics, which was common aboard 23rd century Federation vessels | Though Borg nanotechnology is one of the most well-known examples, this technology is simply miniature machines programmed to fulfill a specific function.
