Professor Ahmed H Zewail, the 1999 Nobel Prize winner in Chemistry, gave the fifth U Thant Distinguished Lecture on 15 April 2003 at UN House in Tokyo. Prof Ahmed Zewail, originally from Egypt, is internationally recognised and holds more than one hundred prizes and awards, Orders of Merit, and Orders of States from around the world. In this home country he received the Grand Collar of the Nile, the highest state honour, and postage stamps were issued to honour his contributions to science and humanity. His 1999 Nobel Prize was awarded for groundbreaking work in the development of the new field, femtoscience, making it possible to observe the movement of individual atoms in a femtosecond, a split second that is a millionth of a billionth of a second. Such a development, which literally changed our view of matter, holds great promise in the areas of high technology and life sciences.
