Transparent debris effect
A transparent debris effect is a reaction in which a Herschel or other active region destroys a still life, then later, having passed through the place where the still life was, recreates the still life in its original position. The transparent block reaction, shown below, is an example of this phenomenon.

It was found by David Buckingham in 1988. It has been used in some Herschel conduits, and in the gunstars.

gollark: A WASM build tool which some guide recommended.
gollark: You might need to `cargo install trunk`.
gollark: `trunk serve`, I assume you have a Rust toolchain working.
gollark: It's *vaguely* usable now because I just run the search thing at depth 2, but that makes it an awful player.
