Antiparticle

/æntiˈpɑrtɪkəl/ noun

Definition

In physics, a subatomic particle with the same mass as an ordinary particle but with opposite electrical charge and opposite properties; the antimatter counterpart of a normal particle.

Etymology

From anti- (opposite) + particle (from Latin particula, small part). The term was coined in the 1930s as physicists discovered these opposite-charge particles through calculations and experiments.

Kelly Says

When Paul Dirac predicted antiparticles mathematically in 1928, it was pure theory—but within a few years scientists found the positron (antimatter electron), proving his equations described something real and opening up the entire field of antimatter physics.
