Surfactants are surface-active molecules or ions that can often be found at the surface of
atmospheric aerosol particles. Some surfactants, such as biomolecules in marine aerosol …

Surface properties of nanodroplets and microdroplets are intertwined with their immense
applicability in biology, medicine, production, catalysis, the environment, and the …

Hydroxymethanesulfonate (CH2 (OH) SO3–, HMS) has been found to be an important
organosulfur compound in atmospheric aerosols. However, its atmospheric fate is largely …

The formation of clouds results from condensation of water vapor into liquid water droplets.
These water droplets form on the surface of tiny particles that are suspended in the air, like …

Droplet interfaces are instrumental in processes of biology, engineering, production, and
