Usage examples of magneton.

It is the nucleus of a magneton, what is left after the outer shells have been stripped away.

Atomic stresses yielded enormous quantities of light and heat and great streams of magnetons and electrons.

The quantum torpedo containing the specialized magneton pulse generator was unharmed as well, and ready to be launched into the barrier as soon as he took over the tactical controls.

That amplitude is constantly shifting, of course, but if we get it right, then the torpedo should hold together long enough to emit a magneton pulse that will react with a subspace tensor matrix generated by the Enterprise to create an opening in the space-time continuum.
