Studying molecular processes in the gas-phase, i.e. on molecules in isolation, without the influence of solvents or surrounding materials, allows examination of dynamics and reactivity at the most fundamental level. Gas-phase research reveals intrinsic molecular behaviour that underpins chemical, biological, and physical processes. This approach is essential for understanding phenomena ranging from interstellar chemistry to molecular mechanisms underlying radiotherapy and the design of advanced materials, forming a vital bridge between fundamental science and real-world applications.
