'What do you want to know about a chemical reaction which requires you to have these ultrafast techniques available? Ideally you want to know how quickly does the excited molecule relax down to other states, how quickly does it interact with other molecules, and we can also then study the precise and exact details of those interactions which leads to the branch of the subject which is called reaction dynamics.'
