By any chance did you translate "positron", which as I understand it is another name for an anti-electron? I ask because the writers seem to be fond of positrons in the Trek episodes. See http://memory-alpha.org/wiki/Positron for a nice summary. (BTW, they've used antiprotons in Trek as well: http://memory-alpha.org/wiki/Antiproton .)
