dematerialising
Fading from existence
Dematerialising is the British spelling of dematerializing—becoming immaterial or vanishing from physical form.
Science fiction characters dematerialise when teleporting.
Figuratively, something dematerialises when it disappears or fades away: Support for the project dematerialised once costs became clear.
The word also describes reducing physical materials in products or processes.
