The unique behavior of the "liquid state," together with the
richness of phenomena that are observed, render liquids
particularly interesting for the scientific community. Note that
the most important reactions in chemical and biological systems
take place in solutions and liquid-like environments. Additionally,
liquids are utilized for numerous industrial applications. It is
for these reasons that the understanding of their properties at the
molecular level is of foremost interest in many fields of science
and engineering. What can be said with certainty is that both the
experimental and theoretical studies of the liquid state have a
long and rich history, so that one might suppose this to be
essentially a solved problem. It should be emphasized, however,
that although, for more than a century, the overall scientific
effort has led to a considerable progress, our understanding of the
properties of the liquid systems is still incomplete and there is
still more to be explored. Basic reason for this is the "many body"
character of the particle interactions in liquids and the lack of
long-range order, which introduce in liquid state theory and
existing simulation techniques a number of conceptual and technical
problems that require specific approaches. Also, many of the
elementary processes that take place in liquids, including
molecular translational, rotational and vibrational motions (Trans.
-Rot. -Vib. coupling), structural relaxation, energy dissipation
and especially chemical changes in reactive systems occur at
different and/or extremely short timescales.
