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]]'') | 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]]'') Artron energy was inimical to certain time-sensitive species. The [[Tenth Doctor]] once described it as equal and opposite to [[the Trickster]]'s power. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith (TV story)|The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith]]'') | ||

[[TARDIS]]es were powered, in part, by artron energy, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Cat's Cradle: Witch Mark (novel)|Cat's Cradle: Witch Mark]]''; [[AUDIO]]: ''[[Fractures (audio story)|Fractures]]'') with raw artron energy flowing from the [[Eye of Harmony]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Cat's Cradle: Witch Mark (novel)|Cat's Cradle: Witch Mark]]'') Additionally, artron energy from the minds of [[Time Lord]]s was absorbed at the [[Artron Forum]] and sent to the TARDIS [[berthing bay]]s.

The [[Fifth Doctor]] once claimed to [[Monarch (Four to Doomsday)|Monarch]] that artron energy had a relationship to the functioning of [[the Doctor's TARDIS|his TARDIS]] (or vice versa), although he did not elaborate.

Artron energy was rich and refined in TARDISes, ([[TV]]:''[[The Doctor's Wife (TV story)|The Doctor's Wife]]'') vital in the running of the ships; it could run low ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Option Lock (novel)|Option Lock]]'') and when down to 10% it would mean even backup power was unavailable.

Materialisation caused a massive displacement of artron energy ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Highest Science (novel)|The Highest Science]]'') which would help the scanners.

Artron energy would be absorbed by travelling through time, such as by travellers in a TARDIS. ([[TV]]: ''[[Invasion of the Bane (TV story)|Invasion of the Bane]]'', [[COMIC]]: ''[[Playing House (comic story)|Playing House]]'') Exposure to background radiation in time travel altered and enhanced [[Martha Jones]]' [[antibody|antibodies]], making them better at fighting diseases. ([[TV]]: ''[[Reset (TV story)|Reset]]'') 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]]'') and 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.

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.
