The '''[[Aperture Science]] Material Emancipation Grill''' (also known as '''Emancipation Grills''' or '''fizzlers'''), are shimmering, semi-transparent particle fields that appear in the Aperture Science testing facilities. Emancipation Grills disintegrate any object and blocks any portal that passes through, while allowing the player and the [[Handheld Portal Device]] to pass without issue.

In ''Portal 2'', Emancipation Grids appear more solid in nature compared to ''Portal''. They are light blue in coloring and have a shimmering water-like appearance. In the [[developer commentary]], it was noted that they look this way to appear more "safe" to players, while still showing that there is a barrier to inanimate objects.
