Corrected Antigravitron to Antigraviton, and gave Nadion its intended place on the particle list, instead of being a Muon. Corrected Issac Asimov to Isaac Asimov.
== Antigravitron Antigraviton ==Elemental particle that carries a charge and spin opposite to that of gravitronsgravitons. Antigravitron Antigraviton particles are generated in a standard tractor beam. Antigravitons are produced by certain alien technologies, and can be used to interfere with transporter beams.
== Anyon ==
== Muon ==
An unstable particle similar to an electron, but with a much greater mass. Muons are part of the Lepton family. A build up of Muons in a Federation warp core can result in a massive explosion if the ship enters warp. This is especially dangerous as the build up is very difficult to detect.
== Nadion == A particle associated with phaser weapons. In 2371 Captain Janeway used her phaser to close a temporal rift by creating nadion particle feedback within it. Voyager later used a Nadion burst to damage the lifeform inhabiting the Demon class planet the Starship had landed on, forcing it to halt its attack on the ship.
== Neutrino ==
== Positron ==
The Positron is the antiparticle of the electron, one of the particles which make up atoms. 20th century science fiction writer Issac Isaac Asimov used positronic brains in his robot stories; centuries later Dr. Soong made this a reality when he developed Positronic technology for the neural nets of his androids, including Lore and Data. This technology is not yet widespread, but positronic systems can be used to keep the brain of an injured person functioning. Positrons can also be used by scanning systems against objects which are particularly difficult to penetrate with normal scans.
== Proton ==
