The liquid–air surface tension of aqueous solutions is a fundamental quantity in multi-phase
thermodynamics and fluid dynamics and thus relevant in many scientific and engineering …

Multijunction/tandem solar cells have naturally attracted great attention because they are not
subject to the Shockley–Queisser limit. Perovskite solar cells are ideal candidates for the top …

Surface-active organic material is a key component of atmospheric aerosols. The presence
of surfactants can influence aerosol heterogeneous chemistry, cloud formation, and ice …

Surface-active compounds present in aerosols can increase their cloud condensation nuclei
(CCN) activation efficiency by reducing the surface tension (σ) in the growing droplets …

Microfluidics is used in a broad range of applications, from biology and medicine to
chemistry and polymer science, because this versatile platform enables rapid and precise …

Perovskite photovoltaics (PV) is an emerging thin‐film solar energy technology that is
advantageous over the currently dominant crystalline silicon PV in terms of its adjustable …

Indoor surfaces are extremely diverse and their interactions with airborne compounds and
aerosols influence the lifetime and reactivity of indoor emissions. Direct measurements of …

This study investigates the impact of fatty acids on the cloud condensation nuclei (CCN)
activity of sea salt aerosol of initial size 30, 50, 70 or 90 nm. Two of the major fatty acids in …

Edible films were prepared using sodium caseinate (6–8g/100g) and stearic acid (0–
2g/100g). Effects of the ratio of stearic acid and sodium caseinate to water on the water …

The surface activity of ten atmospherically relevant α-pinene-derived dimers having varying
terminal functional groups and backbone stereochemistry is reported. We find∼ 10 …
