The findings, published today in Nature Nanotechnology, are a major step towards developing smaller...

Interns contributed to aerosol modeling research to better understand airborne virus DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory When Cathrine Hamilton and Alison Robey, fall interns at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory, first signed on to collaborate with their mentor Laura Fierce, an associate scientist in the Environmental and Climate Sciences Department, they didn't imagine they would be contributing to widespread research tackling the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead of collaborating on climate models, the interns supported the development of simulations in order to study t...

share: Tiny Particles that Seed Clouds Can Form from Trace Gases Over Open Sea Understanding previously undocumented source of new particle formation will improve models of aerosols, clouds, and their impact on Earth's climate January 22, 2021 Results from a study of clouds and aerosols conducted in the Azores revealed that new particles can seed the formation of clouds in the marine boundary layer—the atmosphere up to about a kilometer above Earth's surface—even over the open ocean, where the concentration of precursor gases was expected to be low.
