This new volume discusses the remarkable opportunities afforded by the femtosecond laser, focusing on the host of phenomena this laser has made it possible to observe. Examining molecules on the intrinsic time scale of their vibrations as well as their dissociative motions and electronic excitations represents only part of a broadened scientific window made possible by the femtosecond laser.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe assembled studies, with follow-up discussions, reflect the many specialties and perspectives of the Conference's 65 participants as well as their optimism concerning the breadth of scientific discovery now open to them. The studies shed light on the laser's enhanced technical reach in the area of coherent control of chemical reactions as well as of more general quantum systems. The theoretical fundamentals of femto-chemistry, the unique behavior of the femtosecond laser, and a view toward future technological applications were also discussed:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFemtochemistry: chemical reaction dynamics and their control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoherent control with femtosecond laser pulses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFemtosecond chemical dynamics in condensed phases\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControl of quantum many-body dynamics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExperimental observation of laser control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolvent dynamics and RRKM theory of clusters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-resolution spectroscopy and intramolecular dynamics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMolecular Rydberg states and ZEKE spectroscopy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransition-state spectroscopy and photodissociation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuantum and semiclassical theories of chemical reaction rates.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eA fascinating and informative status report on the cutting-edge chemical research made possible by the femtosecond laser, \u003ci\u003eChemical Reactions and Their Control on the Femtosecond Time Scale\u003c\/i\u003e is an indispensable volume for professionals and students alike.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe femtosecond laser and chemistry's extraordinary new frontier of molecular motions observed on the scale of a quadrillionth of a second.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eResearch chemists have only tapped the surface of the spectacular reach and precision of the femtosecond laser, a technology that has allowed them to observe the dynamics of molecules on the intrinsic time scale of their vibrations, dissociative motions, and electronic excitations.
