Tiny particles in Earth’s atmosphere can have a big impact on climate. But understanding exactly how these aerosol particles form cloud drops and affect the absorption and scattering of sunlight is one of the biggest sources of uncertainty in climate models. Ogochukwu (Ogo) Enekwizu, a postdoctoral research associate in the Environmental and Climate Sciences Department at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory, is trying to tame that complexity. “Our task is to mimic what happens in the atmosphere by making a cloud in the lab,” she said.

The risks of negative side effects from online privacy laws are being studied by researchers in NJIT's Martin Tuchman School of Management and Ying Wu College of Computing, in collaboration with Carnegie Mellon and Cornell universities, based on $1.2 million in National Science Foundation grants. They want to examine assertions from news and media companies that privacy regulations are hurting ordinary users, because the regulations hamper publishers' financial viability, resulting in lower quality content or even the prospect of none at all.
