Viruses attach to cells of a host (humans, other living organisms). This is how they reproduce and cannot live without a host. They either go into a lytic cycle where they just keep reproducing by using the cell of the host (it is kind of like hacking, and making the cell work for them). viruses can also go into lysogenic cycle where they just stay in the cell undetected until they decide they want to go into lytic cycle and reproduce.
A particle accelerator used to accelerate particles at high speeds will not fuse together and create a new element. The particle accelerator uses electromagnetic fields to move charged particles and contain them in well defined beams.
Not exactly.Accelerate particles to high speeds: yes.Create new elements: it is not new elements, but new particles that are created.Fuse together: this is not so much about particles fusing together; rather, the new particles are created from the energy of the impact. Remember that every energy has a mass equivalent. For example, the LHC is planned to increase its energy to 6.5 TeV per beam, meaning that two particles - two protons for example - will collide at a combined energy of 13 TeV. This corresponds to a mass of about 14,000 protons. This makes it possible to create new particles, including particles that are quite massive.

Yes. This is the reason that viruses infect cells. The virus injects its genetic material, either DNA or RNA, which then takes over the cell's activities and turns the cell into a virus factory, causing the cell to make new virus parts and assemble them. Eventually the cell ruptures and the new viruses are free to infect other cells.
Active Viruses
viruses
Viruses, like the common cold virus, are not categorized in that way as bacteria are. Viruses are neither. Since they are non-living organisms (unlike bacteria that are living), they have no oxygen requirements and can be "active" with or without it. Their hosts' cells, that they hijack to create new viruses, do need oxygen, however, so it is necessary for the cells so they can reproduce the virus particles for viral reproduction, but not necessary for each virus particle itself.
Darwinism.
Viruses are a good example. They infect the body cells, make them produce replicates of themselves (new virus particles) and then the cells they have invaded are killed as the new virus particles burst open the cell to release the new particles to infect more cells. Until your body's immune system can create antibodies to inactivate the virus particles, this Lytic cycle of viral reproduction continues in each cell that is invaded. See the related question below about the Lytic cycle for more detail.

viruses are not living organisms. They simply attach to a cell and when the cell reproduduces the virus is reproduced with the new cells.

Reproduction (sexual and asexual)
Viruses are not alive. They are infectious particles. They hijack a living cell's DNA and force it to make viruses parts instead of living cell parts. The cell is made to assemble to parts and the new viruses bust out of the cell, killing it, and infect more cells.
In Brave New World, there is no such thing as viruses. Viruses, disease, old age, wrinkles, etc. are not present in the New World because that would make the world unstable. They would give people a reason to worry and be stressed which would create an unstable world.
