Lasers in Chemistry
Let us try as much as we can, we shall still unavoidably fail in many things 'The Imitation of Christ', Thomas a Kempis Since the invention of the laser in 1960, a steadily increasing number of applications has been found for this remarkable device. At first it appeared strangely difficult...
