A hypothetical technology that suspends all molecular motion and metabolic processes within a defined volume, effectively stopping time for objects or living beings inside the field. It is the ultimate preservation tool, allowing for indefinite hibernation during long space voyages, perfect surgical suspension, or the freezing of critical moments in combat or disaster. The science typically involves speculative physics like localized time dilation or quantum locking, placing it firmly in the realm of advanced theoretical concept or magic-like tech.
Example: In countless sci-fi stories, like Alien, crew members travel between stars in Stasis Fields (hyper-sleep). In Dune, personal shielding technology creates a kind of stasis field that slows fast-moving objects (like bullets) to a crawl, changing the nature of combat to blade work.
