Short summary
Aerosols change their size and optical properties with humidity, influencing clouds and climate. Traditional instruments only capture the average behavior of many particles, missing how individual ones grow. We developed a precise optical method that traps and measures single particles as humidity varies, accurately determining their dry size and water uptake. This versatile approach applies to diverse particle types and enhances understanding of their roles in air quality and climate systems.
