(Sorry, I know english very bad, so don't be insult, please). I think you souldn't merge this article with another one, because both of word (i.e. dematerialization & teleportation) meens different things. Dematerialization is a phenomena of disapearing some object from material world, but without following rematerialization.

Separate Article
Materialization (science fiction) just redirects right to teleportation, but that's not always how it's used in sci-fi; there are some examples of materialization of matter from energy or from nothing, for instance the replicator (Star Trek), the Grails from the Riverworld novels, in the tv series Ark II, one of the Tom Swift books from the '80s, and probably a lot more that I've forgotten. It deserves its own separate entry, I think. -- Noclevername 01:56, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
