Abstract
A review is given of measurements of atomic and molecular lifetimes and transition probabilities. Emphasis is placed on comparatively new methods such as laser spectroscopy, high-resolution electron excitation and beam-foil spectroscopy. The applications of the results to problems in astrophysics and plasma physics are discussed.
