Abstract:
These concluding remarks summarize the Faraday Discussion on New Directions in Molecular Scattering. The discussion brought together scientists from a wide range of disciplines, from astrochemistry to coherent quantum control, and the submitted papers highlighted the need for innovation in experimental methods and computational tools to tackle more complex systems, relevant to chemistry in the real world. As recorded in the previous pages of this discussion, the meeting saw lively debate on numerous topical issues. This summary outlines some of the highlighted key developments in the field, and points towards future directions of molecular scattering research.

Diffraction
Diffraction is the change in the direction of travel experienced by an electromagnetic wave when it encounters a physical barrier whose dimensions are comparable to those of the wavelength of the light. X-rays are electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths about as long as the distance between neighboring...
