Evolving laser capabilities enable discoveries in chemistryThe continued evolution of laser properties and performance has enabled the development of new capabilities in spectroscopy, imaging, and mass spectrometry, generating profound insights into the understanding of chemical species and processes. Following up on the series entitled "Chemical and Biochemical Applications of Lasers", edited by C. Bradley Moore at the dawn of laser applications in chemical research some four decades ago, this volume highlights emerging science enabled bynew applications of lasers to areas like plasmonics, ultrafast dynamics, surfaces and interfaces, microcavities, chemical biology, and ultracold chemistry. Physical chemists and other researchers looking for novel light sources for their work should find this tribute to Moore's pioneering vision inspiring andhelpful.
