👏Big kudos to Prof. Albert Stolow @uOttawa on winning the 2026 @AmerChemSociety Ahmed Zewail Award in Ultrafast Science & Technology!
He is only the second Canadian ever to receive this renowned honour, following fellow uOttawa trailblazer, Prof. Paul Corkum.

Remembering my father, Ahmed Zewail (1946–2016), Nobel laureate and pioneer of femtochemistry. An Egyptian-American scientist whose groundbreaking work changed how we see molecules. His legacy continues to inspire scientists around the world.

Chemical reactions take place in a matter of femtoseconds. One femtosecond is to a second, as a second is to 32 million years.

#NobelPrize laureate Ahmed Zewail used lasers to watch these reactions in slow motion and study how atoms in a molecule move during a chemical reaction.
