We report the dynamics and control of the orientational and positional order of ensembles of gold nanorods suspended in air at standard temperature and pressure using externally applied electric fields, demonstrating an active aerosol. Light filter, valve and gradient responses are shown, establishing active aerosols as a unique type of optical element

Evaluation of the ability of radiation transmission model and MODIS images to estimate aerosol optical depth [PDF]
Aerosols play an important role in the climate system of the atmosphere. These atmospheric particles are directly affected by changing radiation exposure by diffusing and absorbing different wavelengths and indirectly by changing the optical properties ...

Photophoresis – a Forgotten Force ??
In general a force will act on a particle illuminated by light or other radiation and absorbing part of the flux, and as a consequence a motion will result.
