In 2010, physicists at Fermilab said they were closing in on the elusive particle.
If the atom in question is in a small particle on the surface of a piece of silicon, the result is what is known as a surface plasmon.
The plant is located on the property of a particle board maker, Decorative Panels.

The experiment on cloud formation also seems likely to undermine the particle physics laboratory's reputation for pursuing only blue skies research.
The instruments are similar to those used in particle accelerators on Earth such as the Large Hadron Collider at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) outside of Geneva, Switzerland.
ENGADGET: AMS detects excess of positrons, could suggest existence of dark matter
Any conclusive proof of the condensate would have an impact both on how we understand particle production in collisions as well as the ways gluons and quarks are arranged inside protons.
ENGADGET: Large Hadron Collider may have produced a previously undetected form of matter
For pollution levels, we used information from the American Lung Association's "State of the Air: 2007" report, which ranked the most polluted metropolitan areas by year-round particle pollution based on data submitted by states to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for 2003-05.
Readers without a grasp of the so-called standard model in particle physics may well flounder in the chapter on the physics prize.
The cosmic ray particle physics detector was carried to the International Space Station on the final flight of the space shuttle Endeavour and installed under NASA direction.
CNN: Space station detector gives first clues to 'dark matter'
Thanks to scientists working on particle acceleration at CERN, the Geneva International Airport is the proud owner of a new array of solar panels that will form one of the largest solar energy systems in Switzerland.
FORBES: CERN Provides Geneva International Airport With Solar Panels
For that reason Forbes focused on the metros most affected by year-round particle pollution for this list.
But transmitting single particles or, to be accurate, copying the quantum state of one particle on to another, perhaps of a different kind could one day have less science-fictional uses.
The results reported at the conference - based on the entire data sets from 2011 and 2012 - much more strongly suggest that the new particle's "spin" is zero - consistent with any of the theoretical varieties of Higgs.
The ALA analyzed the data based on ozone pollution, short-term particle pollution and year-round particle pollution.
Half of the atoms in a five-nanometre particle are on its surface, which can make it many times more toxic than expected by weight alone.
The Large Hadron Collider, the huge particle accelerator in Switzerland which was switched on this week (see article), is a grand project that could yield all sorts of discoveries.
Any particle with a target molecule on its surface will stick to the spin valve.
The U.S.-based scientists outlined their final analysis based on more than 10 years of research and 500 trillion particle collisions using the U.S. Department of Energy's Fermilab Tevatron collider near Batavia, Illinois, whose budgetary woes shut it down last year.
Dr Krushelnick thinks laser-powered particle generators could fit into the basements of universities, if not on laboratory benches.
The particle's position thus altered the nanotube's electrical resistance on a local scale.
Particle physicists would not have the first idea of what was going on in their machines if the results of their experiments were not processed automatically.
This was all based on a simple insight: The behavior of the electron was dictated by the wave function rather than particle physics.
John Learned, the particle physicist quoted in my article above, asked that I post the following comment on his behalf as follows.
FORBES: Neutrinos to Give High-Frequency Traders the Millisecond Edge
"There's a huge synergy there, in astronomers trying to find the influence of dark matter by mapping stars and galaxies and large structures in the universe, and particle physicists trying to discover the source of that influence of dark matter through subatomic particles here on Earth, " said Jason Kalirai, deputy project scientist for the telescope at the Space Telescope Science Institute.
