Prediction from molecular shape of solute orientational order in liquid crystals
Article Abstract:
Liquid crystal molecules demonstrate a particular orientational order because of the anisotropic intermolecular forces affecting every molecule. Studying the intermolecular forces due to anisotropic intermolecular potential can be a difficult undertaking because this type of interaction is inherently complicated. However, the advent of nuclear magnetic resonance has considerably eased the burden of this type of research. A review of experiments on the solute orientational order of liquid crystals is presented.

Molecular photodynamics in rare gas solids
Article Abstract:
Molecular photodynamics applied to rare gas solids is seeing increasing usage as a tool for describing multiple-body dynamics and interactions. This development, which is expected to continue further despite the procedure's relative novelty, is brought about by advances in computational tools and the construction of ultrafast lasers. The lasers permit experiments in condensed matter to be conducted on relevant time scales while the computational tools allow the performance of large-scale simulations.

Fast analytical-scale separations by capillary electrophoresis and liquid chromatography
Article Abstract:
A discussion of developments in rapid analytical-scale separations by capillary electrophoresis (CE) and liquid chromatography (LC) is presented. There have been significant increases in speed of separation of both CE and LC. New areas of application for high-speed separation, including clinical analysis and process monitoring, are set to emerge.
