AS&T virtual collection: Aerosol particle physical chemistryThe physicochemical properties of aerosol particles, including pH, phase, viscosity, surface tension, and hygroscopicity, are critical to our understanding dynamics transformations.These influence key complex processes such as growth phase transitions, heterogeneous multiphase chemistry, gas-surface-bulk partitioning, optical properties, cloud droplet activation, ice nucleation.Over the past years it has become evident that some barriers chemistry can only be addressed through new fundamental laboratory, theoretical, modeling studies.Aerosol is an important area focus interest in community.In May 2022, we organized 5th biennial conference entitled "A Molecular-Level Understanding Atmospheric Aerosols" (MUOAA 2022), bringing together international community researchers interested all aspects molecular physics aerosols.The provided a unique forum for participants exchange ideas on treating chemistry.Support from National Science Foundation also made particularly possible early career scientists attend.In MUOAA discussion points crossed over many categories included defining surfaces, limits detections biases varied measurement techniques, appropriate model/surrogate chemical systems, how incorporate measurements into models.Similarly, October AAAR Special Symposium "Aerosol Physical Chemistry Microphysics", by Cari Dutcher well Sarah Petters (Aarhus University) Miriam Freedman (Pennsylvania State University), sought stimulate interdisciplinary microphysical phenomena, bridging scales using computational, experimental, observational techniques.This special issue was born out these workshops, seeking collect series papers 2022 beyond.In particular, motivated discussions at topics (1) Particle surfaces: Defining coupled with advanced emerging methods, surfactants rheology, bulk-surface-gas reactions, mass transfer, (2) phase:
