Complex three-dimensional self-assembly in proxies for atmospheric aerosols

Nearly all atmospheric aerosols contain surface-active organic compounds; however, the nature of how they arrange remains poorly understood. Here, the authors show that fatty acids in atmospheric aerosol proxies self-assemble into highly ordered, viscous 3D nanostructures that undergo changes upon e...
