Verterons are subatomic particles that are present in wormholes. Verterons can interfere with sensor scans and only exist when artificially created. Verterons also allow the extrapolation of a wormhole's subspace bearing by detecting their exit vector, allowing one to pinpoint the terminus spacial coordinate for any wormhole.
The Bajoran wormhole was formed by self-sustaining verterons.
As of the mid-2150s, a verteron-emission array was installed on Mars to redirect comets for terraforming purposes. The verteron array was briefly hijacked by Terra Prime supremacists seeking to rid Earth of aliens, but their plot was foiled by Captain Jonathan Archer of Enterprise.
A pulse of verterons is capable of disabling a starship. The USS Enterprise-D was disabled by a Hekaran probe in 2370 when the probe emitted a verteron pulse, immediately disabling the Enterprise's warp and impulse drives as well as the ship's shields.
In late 2369, Keiko O'Brien looked at verterons in one of her school lessons.
In 2373, the USS Voyager bombarded a subspace instability near the Takarian planet with verterons to induce the Barzan wormhole to re-open at that location.
