Definition
高能 (gāo néng) literally means 'high energy'. In physics and technical contexts it describes particles or phenomena with very high energy levels. In internet slang, 高能 is used as an abbreviation of 高能预警 (high-energy warning), alerting viewers that upcoming content may be shocking or intense. It functions as a noun but frequently appears as an adjective-like modifier (e.g., 高能粒子, 高能预警).
