Aerosol Structures Captured by X-Ray Vision
Most exhaustive images to date of airborne soot particles, a key contributor to global warming and a health risk has been captured by researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory.
The discovery reveals the particles' surprisingly complex nanostructures and could ultimately aid the understanding of atmospheric processes important to climate change, as well as the design of cleaner combustion sources, from car engines to power plants.
