What do scientist use to smash together tiny bits of matter using what?
Scientists use particle accelerators to collide atoms.
Are particle accelerators the same as super colliders?
Sort of. Particle accelerators are anything that take particles (usually electrons or protons) and accelerate them to high speeds. Super colliders are really powerful particle accelerators along with a bunch of equipment to measure what happens when the particles collide. So when someone talks about a particle accelerator, they're usually talking about colliders. But there are lots of things that are particle accelerators that aren't colliders. The old CRT computer monitors (heavy ones that are about as deep as they are wide) accelerate electrons and shoot them into the glass plate in front to make light, so there's a particle accelerator inside.

Who might use a particle accelerator?
Particle physicists doing research in quantum mechanics use particle accelerators, which are also called "atom smashers" or "colliders". These devices propel subatomic particles at high velocities and collide them with other subatomic particles, sometimes creating new elements, and recreating the properties of the early Universe, shortly after the Big Bang.
What heat is transferred from one particle to another when the particles collide?
That is conduction.
If the motion of 1 particle of a gas is unaffected by the motion of other particles of the gas unless the particles what?
Unless the particles collide
What are the differences between free settling and hindered settling?
when the particle do not collide with the wall of the container or with the other particles is called free settling the suspended particles in the medium do nor effect it and when the particle collide with the other particles and with the wall of the container an d collides with the suspended particles is called hindered settling
What is the process by which heat transfers from one particle of matter to another when the particles collide?
conduction
What is the process by which heat transfers from one particle of matter to another which the particles collide?
conduction
What is a powerful machine that moves nuclear particles fast enough to make larger nuclei when the particles collide?
Particle accelerator

Particle accelerator
How do particles conduct heat?
When particles receive energy (like heat) usually it causes the particle to vibrate. If this particle is next to another particle, the vibration causes the particle next to it to vibrate. This vibration is the heat energy being given off, and colliding with the next particle, which then collides with the next particle, then the next, etc.This is the case with solid and liquid particles, however gas particles use convection, which is where the gas particle hits another particle, and so transfers some of the energy (such as heat) to that particle.Conduction ConvectionA;vibrate;B;vibrate:C A->->->;collide;B->->;collide;C
