Annual Review of Physical Chemistry®
Volume 59, May 2009

The Annual Review of Physical Chemistry®, in publication since 1950, covers significant developments in the field of Physical Chemistry, including Biophysical Chemistry, Chemical Kinetics, Colloids, Electrochemistry, Geochemistry and Cosmochemistry, Laser Chemistry and Ultrafast Processes, the Liquid State, Magnetic Resonance, Physical Organic Chemistry, Polymers and Macromolecules, Quantum Chemistry, Scattering, Solids and Ordered Arrays, Nanoscale Dynamics, Molecular Spectroscopy, Single-Molecule Spectroscopy and Dynamics, Statistical Mechanics, Theoretical Electronic Structure and Dynamics, Surface Chemistry and Catalysis, and Thermochemistry and Thermodynamics.

Some examples of topics in the current volume are mineral dust aerosol; femtobiology; RNA hairpins; protein evolution; quasicrystal surfaces; surfactants at water-oil interfaces; transmission of metal films with arrays of subwavelength holes; ultrafast dynamics of photodetachment; protein energy flow; correlated electronic structure methods; 2DIR spectroscopy of photoswitchable peptides; wave-packet interferometry and molecular state reconstruction; ions at aqueous interfaces; nanografting for surface physical chemistry; X-ray crystallography for noncrystalline materials, cells, and single protein complexes; short-wavelength UV radiation and photogenerated reactive oxygen species; equation-of-motion coupled-cluster methods; attosecond electron dynamics; functional polymer brushes in aqueous media; electronic spectroscopy of carbon chains; multiscale simulation of soft matter; ab initio quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics methods; fluctuation theorems; NMR spectroscopy of filamentous bacteriophages; sonoluminescence and conditions during cavitation; elastic modeling of biomembranes and lipid bilayers; water in nonpolar confinement; parity violation in chiral molecules; and collapse mechanisms of Langmuir monolayers.

This journal is ideal for chemists and physicists, as well as those in the fields of biology and materials science.
