Light-driven photophysical and photochemical transformations are key phenomena underlying numerous processes, including photosynthesis, vision, photovoltaic light harvesting. The development of mode-locked femtosecond lasers has revolutionized the way that chemists think about interactions with molecular systems. Utilizing coherent pulses can allow direct observation processes such as exciton t...

First proposed in 1994, molecular combing of DNA is a technique that allowsadsorption and alignment on the surface with no need for prior modi-fication molecule. Since then, many variations original methodhave been devised used wide range applications from genomicstudies to nanoelectronics. While has applied avariety DNA-related studies, comprehensive review publishedon different methods so far...
