The study of the physics of protostellar jets and outflows is at present significantly limited by the angular resolution and sensitivity of our telescopes. ALMA, the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimetre Array, is under construction in northern Chile. It will provide a dramatic increase in sensitivity, resolution and spectral bandwidth at millimetre and submillimetre wavelengths compared to current facilities. I discuss the potential breakthroughs in jet science that ALMA will enable.
