The angular momentum of molecules, or, equivalently, their rotation in three-dimensional
space, is ideally suited for quantum control. Molecular angular momentum is naturally …

The goal of the present article is to review the major developments that have led to the
current understanding of molecule–field interactions and experimental methods for …

The study of chemical reactions on the molecular (femtosecond) timescale typically uses
pump laser pulses to excite molecules and subsequent probe pulses to interrogate them …

The combination of ultrafast light sources with detection of molecular-frame photoelectron
angular distributions (MFPADs) is setting new standards for detailed interrogation of …

When an atom or molecule is exposed to a short intense laser pulse, electrons that were
removed at an earlier time may be driven back by the oscillating electric field of the laser to …

Observing the motion of the nuclear wave packets during a molecular reaction, in both
space and time, is crucial for understanding and controlling the outcome of photoinduced …

Frontier orbitals determine fundamental molecular properties such as chemical reactivities.
Although electron distributions of occupied orbitals can be imaged in momentum space by …

One of the grand challenges in chemistry has been to directly observe atomic motions
during chemical processes. The depiction of the nuclear configurations in space-time to …

Conical intersections play a crucial role in the chemistry of most polyatomic molecules,
ranging from the simplest bimolecular reactions to the photostability of DNA. The real-time …

Chemical reactions are manifestations of the dynamics of molecular valence electrons and
their couplings to atomic motions. Emerging methods in attosecond science can probe …
