Abstract
The development of femtosecond laser technology and spectroscopy during the 1980s has made it possible to observe elementary motions of molecules in stable or unstable states, as well as the collective motions of crystal lattices and other condensed materials. It has also become possible to observe chemical and structural rearrangements that involve these elementary motions, including bond breakage and formation, structural phase transitions, and liquid-state structural evolution.
