This award, funded by the Experimental Physical Chemistry Program of the Division of Chemistry, supports the research of Prof. Barbara Wyslouzil and her students at The Ohio State University. The goals of this experimental program are to measure the formation rates and the structure of nanodroplets. Nanometer-sized droplets form by vapor condensation in both ambient and industrial environments, and are crucial elements in many health, environmental, and industrial challenges. Accurately predicting the rate at which these phase transitions occur and the structure of the final droplets are critical for developing reliable models of industrial processes, climate, and atmospheric chemistry. The results stemming from this work are of interest to researchers in nucleation, aerosol science, cloud physics, and materials science. The project provides a rich research environment for undergraduate and graduate students that is highly interdisciplinary and that builds on a longstanding international collaboration. A community outreach effort to bring clouds into the classrooms of both home schooled and public school students is also planned.

该奖项由化学系实验性化学计划资助，支持俄亥俄州立大学Barbara Wyslouzil教授及其学生的研究。该实验计划的目标是衡量纳米光的形成率和结构。纳米大小的液滴是通过蒸气凝结在环境和工业环境中形成的，并且是许多健康，环境和工业挑战的关键要素。准确地预测这些相变发生的速度，并且最终液滴的结构对于开发可靠的工业过程，气候和大气化学模型至关重要。这项工作引起的结果吸引了成核，气溶胶科学，云物理和材料科学的研究人员。该项目为本科和研究生提供了丰富的研究环境，这是高度跨学科的，并且以长期的国际合作为基础。还计划了将乌云带入家庭教育和公立学校学生的教室的社区外展活动。
