Wormhole
You may be looking for the comic story.

A wormhole was a passage which linked two separate points in space-time, usually serving as a shortcut between those two points allowing two distant points to be drawn together closer.

Features

Wormholes would disintegrate organic matter. The only way to survive a journey through the wormhole was with a metal shield enclosing the occupants, acting as a Faraday cage. They could also be used as two-way travel. (TV: Planet of the Dead)

Vodium naturally produced energy which created micro-wormholes. (AUDIO: Situation Vacant)

The interior of wormholes, through which interstellar travel could be made, was called "worm space". (AUDIO: Nekromanteia)
