Aerosol and aqueous particles are ubiquitous in Earth's atmosphere and play key roles in
geochemical processes such as natural chemical cycles, cloud and fog formation, air …

The Earth's atmosphere offers a striking contrast with other known planets by its rich organic
composition, which results almost exclusively from the presence of life on the planet. About …

The surface composition of aerosol droplets is central to predicting cloud droplet number
concentrations, understanding atmospheric pollutant transformation, and interpreting …

The activation of aerosol particles into cloud droplets in the Earth's atmosphere is both a key
process for the climate budget and a main source of uncertainty. Its investigation is facing …

High‐time resolution measurements of primary marine organic sea‐spray physico‐chemical
properties reveal an apparent dichotomous behavior in terms of water uptake: specifically …

This work presents experimental data on the cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) activity of two‐
component mixtures containing surfactants. Nine binary systems were tested combining …

Atmospheric particles can serve as cloud condensation nuclei in the atmosphere. The
presence of surface active compounds in the particle may affect the critical supersaturation …

We report measurements of the subsaturated hygroscopic growth of aerosol particles
composed of single organic components of varying oxygen-to-carbon ratio up to relative …

Particle hygroscopic growth at 90% RH (relative humidity), cloud condensation nuclei (CCN)
activity, and size-resolved chemical composition were concurrently measured in the …

Recent analyses of atmospheric aerosols from different regions have demonstrated the
ubiquitous presence of strong surfactants and evidenced surface tension values, σ, below …
