Short summary
This study presents a new method to measure ultrafine airborne particle concentrations down to 3 nm at high concentrations. By growing the particles into droplets, subsequently electrically charging them, and detecting the electrical signal, the system enables accurate and compact measurements of the particle number concentration. This approach is useful for onboard monitoring of vehicle emissions where space is limited and high concentrations are measured.
