This is not simply an amusing trick: moving objects such as particles or droplets of a liquid freely in mid-air makes it possible to investigate processes while avoiding any disruptive contact with a surface.

Many people picture electrical conductivity as the flow of charged particles (mainly electrons) without really thinking about the atomic structure of the material through which those charges are moving.

This is not a new phenomenon, as natural debris (dead wood, ash, etc.) have enabled species to move around for millions of years, but the movement of alien species on litter items is potentially a new problem, because of the proliferation of floating — mostly plastic — particles.

As Earth orbits through the Milky Way, our planet should move continually through an unseen wind of dark - matter particles that pass right through the planet and everything on it: your neighborhood, your living room, your body.

He studied the phenomenon in the context of electrons moving through impure materials (electrons behave as both particles and waves), but under certain circumstances it can happen with other types of waves as well.

Because these heavy particles are «cold» — meaning they move slowly — they can condense to form very small clumps, as well as very big ones.
