Surface‐Active Organics Increase CCN Activation Especially for Small Particles and Weak Updrafts

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 24, 28 December 2025.
Abstract Atmospheric aerosols often contain surface‐active organics, which reduce surface tension and enhance cloud droplets activation. This effect is often neglected in the application of Köhler theory where a constant surface tension equivalent to pure water is assumed.

Physicochemical Studies on the Interaction between Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate and Methylene Blue in Methanol-Water Mixed Solvent Media

open access: yesJournal of Chemistry, 2020
The surface activity and the process of micellization of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) with methylene blue (MB) in a methanol-water mixed solvent system were investigated by tensiometry and conductometry at 298.15 K.

A Kalman Filter Approach for Estimating Tendon Wave Speed from Skin-Mounted Accelerometers

open access: yesSensors, 2022
Shear wave tensiometry is a noninvasive approach for assessing in vivo tendon forces based on the speed of a propagating shear wave. Wave speed is measured by impulsively exciting a shear wave in a tendon and then assessing the wave travel time between ...

Precise, contactless measurements of the surface tension of picolitre aerosol droplets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The surface composition and surface tension of aqueous droplets can influence key aerosol characteristics and processes including the critical supersaturation required for activation to form cloud droplets in the atmosphere.

The Hierarchical Structure of Sheep Wool and Its Impact on Physical Properties

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, Volume 35, Issue 52, December 23, 2025.
Sheep wool, a prevalent α‐keratinous fiber, is an essential model for studying protein‐based fibers. Its genetic diversity across breeds enables the establishment of multiscale structure‐property relationships, uncovering previously elusive insights into wool's hierarchical structure.
