Abstract:	We discuss a novel mechanism of dust acceleration which dominates for particles smaller than $sim0.1 mu$m. The acceleration is caused by charge fluctuations occurring on grains during their mutual Coulomb collisions. The energy source for the acceleration are the irreversible plasma fluxes continuously absorbed by grains. In particular, this mechanism of charge-fluctuation-induced acceleration affects the rate of grain coagulation and shattering of the population of small grains.
