TL;DR: In this article, a polar molecule can be oriented in 3D by using a combination of laser and electrostatic fields, which should help to obtain molecular-frame information about strong-field ionization processes in molecules for which the orientation cannot be determined after ionization.

TL;DR: Unprecedented degrees of laser-induced alignment and orientation of iodobenzene molecules are demonstrated when the state-selected samples are used and provide unique possibilities for many novel experiments in chemistry and physics.

TL;DR: It is shown that the degree of 3-dimensional alignment and orientation is strongly enhanced when rotational state-selected molecules, rather than molecules in the original molecular beam, are used as targets.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that electrostatic deflection, a classic molecular beam manipulation method that dates back to the 1920s, allows the spatial separation of the conformers of a neutral molecule when it is applied to intense beams of rotationally cold molecules produced by a state-ofthe-art pulsed supersonic expansion source.

TL;DR: An original application of covariance analysis of two-dimensional ion images is demonstrated to reveal strong correlations between specific ejected ionic fragments from Coulomb explosion.
