antiparticles
Positrons and such
Antiparticles are subatomic particles with the same mass as their corresponding particles but opposite charge and quantum properties.
When a particle meets its antiparticle, both annihilate in a burst of energy.
The antiparticle of an electron is a positron; the antiparticle of a proton is an antiproton.
Antimatter consists of antiparticles.
