DOI: 10.1016/j.jaerosci.2018.12.009
Abstract: Abstract Tracking the Brownian motion of aerosol particles as they settle in air allows a mass measurement. The particle typically falls downward at its terminal settling velocity; however, the particle occasionally will be displaced upwards… read more here.
