Verterons are artificial subatomic particles that are present in wormholes. Verterons can interfere with sensor scans.
A pulse of verterons is capable of disabling a starship. The 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. (DS9: "In the Hands of the Prophets"; TNG: "Force of Nature"; TNG: "The Pegasus"; VOY: "Eye of the Needle")
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. (ENT: "Terra Prime")
