Article Abstract
Through simulations and experiment, this Letter shows how a particle's extinction cross section can be extracted from a digital hologram. Spherical and nonspherical particles are considered covering a range of cross-sectional values of nearly five orders of magnitude. The extracted cross sections are typically less than 10% in error from the true values. It is also shown that holograms encompassing a sufficiently large angular range of scattered light yield an estimate for the absorption cross section.

This study explores the critical role of airborne nanoparticle shape in air filtration performance, with direct relevance to the field of nanomaterials production. Aerosol particles ranging from 40 to 250 nm-including spherical FeO, cubic MgO, straight rod-shaped ZnO, and curved or clustered COOH-functionalized nanotubes-were synthesized and tested to assess shape-dependent filtration behavior. The results indicate that the effect of particle morphology on filtration efficiency becomes markedly pronounced at larger particle sizes.

The AErosol RObotic NETwork (AERONET), established in 1993, now spreads across 900 global sites, has about three decades of ground-based aerosol measurements. An aerosol model characterizes the physical and optical properties of atmospheric particles used in satellite and ground-based retrievals and climate simulations. Earlier aerosol models, developed using limited data (∼10-12 years, ∼250 sites), could not capture recent environmental shifts and associated changes in aerosol emissions driven by industrialization, land use changes, intensified wildfires, and dust storms.

Small emulsion droplets typically adopt spherical shapes under positive interfacial tension, minimizing unfavorable oil-water contact. This shape, along with the initial drop size, are generally preserved upon drop freezing or melting. However, in a series of studies, we demonstrated that simple temperature fluctuations near the melting point of the dispersed oil phase can spontaneously induce a wide range of dynamic behaviors in droplets.

This study investigates the green synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) using the aqueous extract of the aquatic plant (greater duckweed) and evaluates their multifunctional properties. The ZnO NPs were synthesized via a sustainable method and characterized using UV-visible spectroscopy, TEM, FESEM, EDX, FTIR, and XRD analyses. UV-visible spectroscopy confirmed the formation of ZnO NPs with a characteristic absorption peak at ∼349 nm.
