Sparkles at 10min mark. youtu.be/uIRz_qpgD-0?si=qOPEh4sTAg93E7BM also I misspoke a bit on tech manual reference. Dispersion isn't super relevant and it's a mean thing to do to someone - but it's essentially the same process in a proper transport or replicator. | |
| Nov 6, 2023 at 17:59 | comment | added | lucasbachmann | I'd speculate it's the matter stream emitting something like Cherenkov radiation (a sonic boom for light) when it comes out of the subspace beam. Per TNG Technical Manual 9.3. Dispersal. Disengaging the annular confinement beam will cause the materializing matter stream to have no reference matrix against which to form. In such a case, the transport subject will form in a random fashion, usually taking the form of randomly dissociated gases and microscopic particulates. | |

Point is, the effect changes from time to time, and more often than not, it doesn't look like there are any particles involved. | |
