Borrowed word!
It's a particle of light with no mass and no charge. Anyone who does physics would know this. They'll teach you a little about it in school at A-level or whatever you have in the US.
I laughed when I heard about "photon weapons". Light kills, yes!
The dictionary says:
photon (fō'tŏn')
The subatomic particle that carries the electromagnetic force and is the quantum of electromagnetic radiation. The photon has a rest mass of zero, but has measurable momentum, exhibits deflection by a gravitational field, and can exert a force. It has no electric charge, has an indefinitely long lifetime, and is its own antiparticle.
Wow, no mass, but it can exert a force! I like that.
