In 1993 Lansbury showed that when he put a smidgen of beta-amyloid-42 into a mixed solution of free-floating amyloid particles, it immediately caused them to coalesce into clumps.
Also, scientists at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University have been able to build a nano-thin layer of particles of titanium dioxide, a substance that reacts with sunlight to break down dirt and other organic material.
The loop may produce sub-atomic particles with a thousand times more energy than those in man-made accelerators.
The flight bans came amid fears that the ash - a mixture of glass, sand and rock particles - can seriously damage aircraft engines.
Nektar therapeutic's engineering feat--the first insulin inhaler for adult diabetics--required inventing a way to turn liquid insulin into a powder of uniform particles just 2 microns wide (one one-thousandth the width of a pinhead), each containing hundreds of millions of stable insulin molecules.
For example, a radioactive isotope such as nickel-63 releases so-called beta particles a highly energetic form of electrons.
The Swach's cartridge, a key component of the system, resembles Edison's electric bulb and is made up of a composite of rice-husk ash (a highly porous material derived out of paddy husk) and fine particles of nano-silver, which inhibits bacteria growth.
Runaway climate change could spur an island nation doomed to drown under rising seas or a wealthy entrepreneur with do-good intentions to deliberately inject sunlight-reflecting particles high into the stratosphere in a bid to cool the planet, the World Economic Forum warns.
The trouble is that some such as the particles from a diesel-engine exhaust are known to cause serious health problems.
When the cosmic rays and gamma rays smash into molecules in the Earth's atmosphere, they set off a cascade of other fast-moving particles.
Though that experiment had not been intended to make axions, the two researchers wondered if it had created such particles as a by-product.
Some theories of elementary particles require a 10-dimensional space.
Using the first completed section of the NOvA neutrino detector, scientists have begun collecting data from cosmic rays-particles produced by a constant rain of atomic nuclei falling on the Earth's atmosphere from space .
The Sommerfeld effect, a quantum-mechanical process that makes particles more likely to interact with one another in some circumstances and less likely in others, is mostly ignored in particle physics because it applies only in a limited range of conditions.
ECONOMIST: Two new ways to detect the elusive stuff of the universe
These include "sputtering" erosion - the bombardment of the surface by very fast charged particles (a process similar to sandblasting) - and impacts by meteorites.
Before the Tevatron closed, the experiments there sent beams of particles whizzing around a four-mile circumference in opposite directions.
Prof Peter Higgs developed a theory of how other sub-atomic particles came to have substance, or mass, and published his work in 1964.
So, instead of being a pure kaon and a pure anti-kaon, the two particles that go flying off are actually blends of each.
Some recent studies have revealed a significant concentration of particles in near-surface waters in areas of mid-ocean accumulation (N Pacific and NW Atlantic gyres).

Pier Oddone, Fermilab's boss, plans to follow it with the Long Baseline Neutrino Experiment (LBNE), which will send a yet-more intense beam of the particles to an underground laboratory in South Dakota.
In 2004, the probe called Stardust swung by a comet called Wild 2, stuck out sort of a big catcher's mitt--I think it looks more like a tennis racket--and hopefully it picked up some of the particles thrown off by the comet.
Although barely visible in the air, the ash -- made up of tiny particles of rock, glass, and sand -- poses a serious threat to aircraft, stalling engines and causing electrical failure, experts have said this week.
When a D0-meson decays, it produces daughter particles called pions and kaons.
They expected to find a high metal content among the larger particles - PM10s and PM 2.5s, but it surprised them to find such high levels in even the very smallest ones.
It has been detecting a rise in the number of high-energy particles, or cosmic rays, coming towards it from interstellar space, while at the same time recording a decline in the intensity of energetic particles coming from behind, from our Sun.
Using the underground Sudbury neutrino detector, an international group of researchers has been able to determine that the observed number of electron-neutrinos is only a fraction of the total number emitted from the Sun - clear evidence that the particles change type en route to Earth.
Novavax's vaccines utilize what are called virus-like particles--genetically engineered molecules designed to train the immune system to recognize a particular virus.
The Standard Model is a framework that explains how the known sub-atomic particles interact with each other.
Several stages of cooling are needed to slow them down before they can be trapped, forming a matchstick-sized cloud of around 30, 000 particles.
The image - of the shadow cast by the Moon as it blocks the light and particles - was shown off at a meeting of the American Physical Society.
