Rainfall triggers bursts of natural nanoparticles, which contribute to cloud formation and additional precipitation over the ...
It's called cloud condensation nuclei or CCN, which can come in many forms, but last night's rain used dust particles from ...
For clouds and precipitation to develop, tiny airborne particles known as cloud condensation nuclei are required for water vapor to condense and form cloud droplets. But what are the origins of ...
Simulating what could happen in the atmosphere, the DTU's SKY2 experiment shows molecular clusters (red dots) failing to grow enough to provide significant numbers of "cloud condensation nuclei ...
