ASU faculty and students are advancing the theory and practice of fundamental molecular science, using state-of-the-art spectroscopy, single-molecule techniques and computational methods. The molecular properties of condensed matter and the fundamental principles of chemical reactivity are being defined experimentally and computationally.
