New particle formation (NPF) represents the first step in the complex processes leading to
formation of cloud condensation nuclei. Newly formed nanoparticles affect human health, air …

This review intends to critically assess recent findings related to nucleation and growth of
atmospheric nanoparticles, with an emphasis on the understanding of these processes at a …

Atmospheric new-particle formation affects climate and is one of the least understood
atmospheric aerosol processes. The complexity and variability of the atmosphere has …

Atmospheric aerosols exert an important influence on climate through their effects on
stratiform cloud albedo and lifetime and the invigoration of convective storms. Model …

Nucleation is a fundamental step in atmospheric new-particle formation. However,
laboratory experiments on nucleation have systematically failed to demonstrate sulfuric acid …

Fundamental questions remain about the origin of newly formed atmospheric aerosol
particles because data from laboratory measurements have been insufficient to build global …

Atmospheric aerosols often contain a substantial fraction of organic matter, but the role of
organic compounds in new nanometer-sized particle formation is highly uncertain …

The physical state of a material is described as its phase. Common phases of the molecule
H2O include vapor, liquid water, and ice. Examples of these phases in the atmosphere are …

Highly oxygenated organic molecules (HOMs) contribute substantially to the formation and
growth of atmospheric aerosol particles, which affect air quality, human health and Earth's …

Nanoparticles are discrete nanometer (10-9 m)-scale assemblies of atoms. Thus, they have
dimensions between those characteristic of ions (10-10 m) and those of macroscopic …
