Tunneling neutrino beam

A tunneling neutrino beam was a type of beam composed of neutrinos that could be used to penetrate other materials. One possible use was to remove a rare subatomic bacteria from the hull of a starship. Such a use was devised by Mendon on board the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D) in 2365 to remove such a bacteria from both that ship and the Klingon vessel.
