/ Marten, Ruby (PSI, Villigen) ; Xiao, Mao (Caltech) ; Wang, Mingyi (Caltech) ; Kong, Weimeng (Caltech) ; He, Xu-Cheng (Helsinki U. ; Finnish Meteorological Inst.) ; Stolzenburg, Dominik (Vienna U. ; Helsinki U.) ; Pfeifer, Joschka (Frankfurt U. ; CERN) ; Marie, Guillaume (Frankfurt U.) ; Wang, Dongyu S (Caltech) ; Elser, Miriam (PSI, Villigen) et al.
Aerosols formed and grown by gas-to-particle processes are a major contributor to smog and haze in megacities, despite the competition between growth and loss rates. Rapid growth rates from ammonium nitrate formation have the potential to sustain particle number in typical urban polluted conditions [...]

The interaction between nitrogen monoxide (NO) and organic peroxy radicals (RO$_{2}$) greatly impacts the formation of highly oxygenated organic molecules (HOM), the key precursors of secondary organic aerosols. It has been thought that HOM production can be significantly suppressed by NO even at low concentrations. [...]

Survival of newly formed particles in haze conditions
/ Marten, Ruby (PSI, Villigen) ; Xiao, Mao (PSI, Villigen) ; Rorup, Birte (Helsinki U.) ; Wang, Mingyi (Carnegie Mellon U.) ; Kong, Weimeng (Caltech) ; He, Xu-Cheng (Helsinki U.) ; Stolzenburg, Dominik (Helsinki U.) ; Pfeifer, Joschka (CERN ; Frankfurt U., FIAS ; Frankfurt U.) ; Marie, Guillaume (Frankfurt U., FIAS ; Frankfurt U.) ; Wang, Dongyu S (PSI, Villigen) et al.
Intense new particle formation events are regularly observed under highly polluted conditions, despite the high loss rates of nucleated clusters. Higher than expected cluster survival probability implies either ineffective scavenging by pre-existing particles or missing growth mechanisms. [...]

Molecular characterization of ultrafine particles using extractive electrospray time-of-flight mass spectrometry
/ Surdu, Mihnea (PSI, Villigen) ; Pospisilova, Veronika (PSI, Villigen) ; Xiao, Mao (PSI, Villigen) ; Wang, Mingyi (Carnegie Mellon U.) ; Mentler, Bernhard (Innsbruck U.) ; Simon, Mario (Frankfurt U., FIAS ; Frankfurt U.) ; Stolzenburg, Dominik (Vienna U., Dept. Math. ; Helsinki U.) ; Hoyle, Christopher R (PSI, Villigen ; Zurich, ETH) ; Bell, David M (PSI, Villigen) ; Lee, Chuan Ping (PSI, Villigen) et al.
Aerosol particles negatively affect human health while also having climatic relevance due to, for example, their ability to act as cloud condensation nuclei. Ultrafine particles (diameter D$_p$ < 100 nm) typically comprise the largest fraction of the total number concentration, however, their chemical characterization is difficult because of their low mass.

Determination of the collision rate coefficient between charged iodic acid clusters and iodic acid using the appearance time method

Ions enhance the formation rate of atmospheric aerosol particles, which play an important role in Earth’s radiative balance. Ion-induced nucleation involves the stepwise accretion of neutral monomers onto a molecular cluster containing an ion, which helps to stabilize the cluster against evaporation. [...]

New particle formation (NPF) is a significant
source of atmospheric particles, affecting climate and air
quality. Understanding the mechanisms involved in urban
aerosols is important to develop effective mitigation strategies. [...]

Formation of Highly Oxygenated Organic Molecules from $\alpha$-Pinene Ozonolysis: Chemical Characteristics, Mechanism, and Kinetic Model Development
/ Molteni, Ugo (PSI, Villigen) ; Simon, Mario (Frankfurt U.) ; Heinritzi, Martin (Frankfurt U.) ; Hoyle, Christopher R (PSI, Villigen) ; Bernhammer, Anne-Kathrin (Ionicon GesmbH, Innsbruck) ; Bianchi, Federico (Helsinki U.) ; Breitenlechner, Martin (Innsbruck U.) ; Brilke, Sophia (Frankfurt U.) ; Dias, António (Lisbon U.) ; Duplissy, Jonathan (Helsinki U. ; Helsinki Inst. of Phys.) et al.
Terpenes are emitted by vegetation, and their oxidation in the
atmosphere is an important source of secondary organic aerosol (SOA). A part of
this oxidation can proceed through an autoxidation process, yielding highly
oxygenated organic molecules (HOMs) with low saturation vapor pressure. [...]

Enhanced growth rate of atmospheric particles from sulfuric acid

Colorado, Boulder) ; Pichelstorfer, Lukas (Helsinki U.) ; Nieminen, Tuomo (Helsinki U.) et al.
In the present-day atmosphere, sulfuric acid is the
most important vapour for aerosol particle formation and initial growth. However, the growth rates of nanoparticles ( <
10 nm) from sulfuric acid remain poorly measured. [...]

Molecular understanding of new-particle formation from $\alpha$-pinene between −50 and +25 °C
/ Simon, Mario (Frankfurt U.) ; Dada, Lubna (Helsinki U.) ; Heinritzi, Martin (Frankfurt U.) ; Scholz, Wiebke (Innsbruck U.) ; Stolzenburg, Dominik (Vienna U.) ; Fischer, Lukas (Innsbruck U.) ; Wagner, Andrea C (Frankfurt U. ; U. Colorado, Boulder) ; Kürten, Andreas (Frankfurt U.) ; Rörup, Birte (Helsinki U.) ; He, Xu-Cheng (Helsinki U.) et al.
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 climate. HOMs are formed by rapid, gasphase autoxidation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
such as α-pinene, the most abundant monoterpene in the atmosphere. [...]
