Atmospheric aerosols are complex mixtures of different chemical species, and individual
particles exist in many different shapes and morphologies. Together, these characteristics …

Mineral dust aerosol is one of the major types of aerosol present in the troposphere. The
molecular level interactions of water vapor with mineral dust are of global significance …

Predicting the formation of ice in the atmosphere presents one of the great challenges in
physical sciences with important implications for the chemistry and composition of the …

Atmospheric ice‐nucleating particles (INPs) play a critical role in cloud freezing processes,
with important implications for precipitation formation and cloud radiative properties, and …

The Indian summer monsoon (ISM) is one of the world's strongest monsoon systems that

Biomass burning is one of the largest sources of carbonaceous aerosols in the atmosphere,
significantly affecting earth's radiation budget and climate. Tar balls, abundant in biomass …

Proton transfer across single-layer graphene proceeds with large computed energy barriers
and is therefore thought to be unfavourable at room temperature unless nanoscale holes or …

Atmospheric aerosols, solid or liquid particles suspended in the atmosphere, range in size
from 1 nm to> 100 μm and come from a wide variety of sources. 1 As such, aerosols have a …

Extensive research has been done on the processes that lead to the formation of secondary
organic aerosol (SOA) including the atmospheric oxidation of volatile organic compounds …

Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) generated from the oxidation of organic gases are
ubiquitous in the atmosphere, but their interaction with water vapor and their ice cloud …
