Connecting chemical dynamics in gases and liquids
Article Abstract:
Modern ultrafast spectroscopic methods can be used to study chemical reaction dynamics in liquids and gases. The experiments that observe the flow of energy within a solute molecule and into surrounding solvent molecules have shown that the frequent interactions in a liquid do not destroy all of the dynamical information and these energy-transfer studies are the most advanced investigations of dynamics in liquids.

Subfemtosecond processes in strong laser fields
Article Abstract:
Subfemtosecond processes from a quasistatic perspective related to both atomic and molecular interactions in strong laser fields are yielding information. The time-dependent Born-Oppenheimer surfaces concept helps in the study of molecular dissociation and exchange reactions in infrared fields. Timed Coulomb explosions can be brought on using all-optical methods.
