Antimatter

/ˈæntiˌmætər/ noun

Definition

A form of matter made up of particles that have the opposite electrical charge of normal matter; when antimatter meets regular matter, both are destroyed in an explosion of energy.

Etymology

From 'anti-' (opposite) and 'matter,' coined in the early 20th century after the theoretical prediction of particles like positrons. The term became widespread with particle physics discoveries.

Kelly Says

Antimatter isn't science fiction—scientists have actually created and trapped atoms of it in labs. The wild part: if you had a gram of antimatter collide with a gram of matter, the energy released would equal the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima. It's literally the most powerful energy source we know of!
