The [[Sixth Doctor]] explained that although artron energy was benign, it had various uses, primarily as a power source. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Shield of the Jötunn (audio story)|Shield of the Jötunn]]'')

During the [[Last Great Time War]], [[Dalek]] technology further evolved/developed so they could use artron energy as a power source. A Dalek on the verge of death could be restored to operational status by the slightest touch from a time traveller. ([[TV]]: ''[[Dalek (TV story)|Dalek]]'') Similarly, the touch of a time traveller could be used to activate the [[Time Lord]]-constructed [[Genesis Ark]], which served as a dimensionally transcendental [[prison ship]] containing millions of Daleks.

Some individuals exposed to artron energy developed a unique artron print that can be detected and tracked. The Time Lords used this to recognise and track [[Irving Braxiatel]] after he planted a [[data bomb]] in [[the Matrix]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Inquiry (audio story)|The Inquiry]]'')

As {{Delgado}} explained, at least one specific signature of artron radiation could be used as a key to open portals to [[time lock]]ed dimensions. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Doorway to Hell (comic story)|Doorway to Hell]]'')

Artron energy would be absorbed by travelling through time, such as by travellers in a TARDIS. ([[TV]]: ''[[Dalek (TV story)|Dalek]]'', ''[[Invasion of the Bane (TV story)|Invasion of the Bane]]'', ''[[Reset (TV story)|Reset]]'')

Even touching a TARDIS could cause the passage of artron energy. [[Clyde Langer]] absorbed some artron energy from the outside of the TARDIS as he was trying to enter it while it was trapped in a [[time loop]] made by [[the Trickster]]. He then used the energy to attack the Trickster, as he was time-sensitive. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith]]'') [[Eleventh Doctor|The Doctor]] later keyed into Clyde's residual artron energy in order to make a biological swap. ([[TV]]: ''[[Death of the Doctor]]'')

A regenerating TARDIS caused a specific signature of harmless artron radiation to seep into its surroundings. This happened when the Doctor's TARDIS, which slowly regenerated in the [[Collins family]]'s back garden, led to artron radiation to "fizz... around" in the bodies of the Collins family.
