Short summary
This study examines how perchloric acid (HClO₄) promotes atmospheric new particle formation. Computational simulations reveal that dimethylamine (DMA) greatly enhances this process—far more effectively than ammonia or sulfuric acid, even at substantially lower concentrations. The DMA–HClO₄ interaction thus represents a previously overlooked source of marine aerosols, offering new insight into polar climate change.
