Power Conduit
From Metroid Wiki
Power Conduits are utilized by Samus to provide power to inoperative doors in Metroid Prime. Though invisible to the normal light spectrum, they do emit a heat signature that can be targeted using the Thermal Visor, and Samus can energize them with a shot of electrical energy from the Wave Beam.[1] The number of Power Conduits that must be energized to provide power to an inoperative door varies between one or three. The Conduits can either be exposed or lodged behind an obstructive material that needs to be removed before it can be energized, such as Cordite.
