inorganic particals come "alive" under the microscope

When I certain metal particles under the microscope in combination with each other in solutions of water or alcohols seem to come alive, zooming around, swirling, even fighting each other like little bugs or critters. Am I tripping or is this what reactions look like up close? I swear I watched carbon particles in isopropyl alcohol form a que and take turns attempting to leap onto a big blob like salmon. It was really weird to see. Manganese and Zinc are major offenders too.
