antimycin

IPA: //ˌæntɪˈmaɪsɪn//

KK: /æntiˈmaɪsɪn/

noun

Definition: A type of antibiotic that is used to control fungal infections, especially in fish farming.

Example: Antimycin is often used in aquaculture to prevent fungal outbreaks in fish populations.

antineutrino

IPA: /ˌæntiˈnjuːtraɪnoʊ/

KK: /æntiˈnjuːtraɪnoʊ/

noun

Definition: A particle that is the opposite of a neutrino, which is a very small particle that has no electric charge and is found in certain types of radioactive decay and nuclear reactions.

Example: Scientists detected an antineutrino during the experiment to study particle interactions.

antineutron

IPA: /ˌæntiˈnjuːtrɒn/

KK: /æntiˈnjuːtrɒn/

noun

Definition: A particle that is the opposite of a neutron, having the same mass but a positive charge.

Example: In particle physics, the antineutron is studied to understand the properties of antimatter.

antinodal

IPA: /ˌæntɪˈnoʊdəl/

KK: /æntɪˈnoʊdəl/

adjective

Definition: Relating to a point in a standing wave where the amplitude is at its maximum.

Example: The antinodal points in the wave pattern were clearly visible during the experiment.

antinode

IPA: /ˈæntɪnoʊd/

KK: /ˈæntɪnoʊd/

noun

Definition: In a standing wave, it is the point or area where the wave has the highest energy or movement, located between points where there is no movement (nodes).

Example: The antinode in the vibrating string produced a loud sound when plucked.

antinucleon

IPA: /ˌæntiˈnjuːkliːən/

KK: /æntiˈnjuːkliːən/

noun

Definition: A type of particle that is the opposite of a nucleon, which includes protons and neutrons.

Example: In particle physics, an antinucleon is created during certain high-energy collisions.

antiparallel

IPA: /ˌæntiˈpærəˌlɛl/

KK: /ˌæntiˈpærəˌlɛl/

adjective

Definition: Describing two things that are parallel but facing in opposite directions.

Example: The two DNA strands are antiparallel, allowing them to bond effectively.

noun

Definition: A line that makes equal angles with two other lines, but goes in opposite directions.

Example: In geometry, two lines are said to be antiparallel if they are oriented in opposite directions but maintain equal angles with a transversal line.

antiparticle

IPA: /ˌæntiˈpɑːrtɪkəl/

KK: /æntiˈpɑrtɪkəl/

noun

Definition: A type of subatomic particle that has the same mass as another particle but opposite electric charge and other properties, leading to mutual annihilation when they meet.

Example: In particle physics, an antiparticle can annihilate with its corresponding particle, releasing energy in the process.

antiproton

IPA: /ˌæntiˈproʊtɒn/

KK: /æntiˈproʊtɒn/

noun

Definition: A particle that has the same mass as a proton but has an opposite charge.

Example: Scientists are studying the behavior of antiprotons in particle accelerators.

antiquark

IPA: /ˈæntiˌkwɑrk/

KK: /æntiˌkwɑrk/

noun

Definition: A type of subatomic particle that is the opposite of a quark, which is a fundamental building block of matter.

Example: In particle physics, an antiquark is paired with a quark to form mesons.
