dematerialised

Faded from existence

Dematerialised is the British spelling of dematerialized—converted from physical to digital or electronic form.

The term appears most often in finance, where dematerialised securities exist as electronic records rather than paper certificates: The shares were held in dematerialised form.

In science fiction, to dematerialise is to vanish by dissolving into nothing.
