Entry ID #5: The Importance of Developing and Distributing Improved Cookstoves

Deborah S. Gross (Carleton College) and Tsegaye Nega (Carleton College)

Lighting a charcoal stove to make lunch fills a woman’s house with smoke in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Her new cookstove kept the air clearer.

Entry ID #11: Climate: Changed

Elliott Gall (Portland State University)

Biomass burning aerosol colleccted on a teflon filter.

Entry ID #12: Soot Formed by Enclosed Spray Combustion of Jet Fuel

Una Trivanovic (ETH Zürich)

Soot nanoparticles incandesce at high temperatures which results visually in glowing yellow regions in sooting flames. Here, soot formed during enclosed spray combustion at three different conditions can be seen with evidence of significant turbulence.

Entry ID #18: AAAR: Directly Printed on Paper from Aerosols of Graphene Oxide-Polymer Composite Material Using Our In-House Developed Aerosol-Based 3D Printing (A3DP) Technology

Shalinee Kavadiya (University of Miami); Pratim Biswas (University of Miami)

These are letters printed on a paper with aerosols of composite (graphene oxide - polymer) materials using our in-house developed novel Aerosol-based 3D Printing (A3DP) Technology, which can print a wide range of material at 10s micrometer resolution.

Entry ID #22: Burj PSL

Julie Pongetti (Cambustion Ltd)

An SMPSTM scan of PSL particles (100 nm), revealing a size distribution worthy of Dubai’s skyline.

Entry ID #25: Eye of the Fluidic Dwarf

Wendy Flores-Brito (Carnegie Mellon University)

Fluorescent microscope image of nebulized fluorescene salt and sodium chloride mix particle droplets, captured in a squalene and Span80 mix filled microfluidic well.
