There have been enormous recent advances in our ability to produce and trap samples of cold molecules (below 1K) and ultracold molecules (below 1 mK). Faraday Discussion 142 will focus on the challenges facing this new domain of quantum science.

The meeting will be opened with an introductory lecture by Professor Dudley Herschback (Harvard University, USA). Professor Franco Gianturco (University of Rome, Italy) will conduct the closing remarks.

For your chance to be published in Faraday Discussions and discuss your work at the conference, submit an abstract for oral presentation. The latest ISI citation data give an impact factor for Faraday of 4.731, emphasising their importance as a forum for developing new ideas.

Deadline for submission of abstracts for oral presentation - 20 June 2008

For more information on the scientific aims, details on how submit an abstract, and the full list of invited speakers presenting their work at the conference see the 'In this section' links.
