Aerosols are tiny particles that can have a significant impact on Earth’s climate and human health.
For example, these microdroplets can reflect incoming sunlight back to outer space, helping to cool a warming planet. Or they can be used to administer drugs to the lungs, especially to treat respiratory ailments.
Thus, the ability to more precisely control how aerosols move is critically important to pharmaceutical sciences and climate research. Aerosol science is also a key aspect of many industries, everything from automobiles to food processing.
Now, scientists have published a study describing a breakthrough device – a new whipping jet aerosol sprayer – that is relatively inexpensive to build and operate.
