His pioneering experiments have yielded deeper understanding of the mechanisms of electronic dynamics in many systems of different length scales ranging from gaseous molecules; ions; gaseous clusters; molecules in condensed phase; amorphous and crystalline solids; nanoparticles and photo biological systems.\n\nThe Ahmed Zewail Prize was presented during the 2009 Spring meeting of the American Chemical Society, in Salt Lake City, USA.\n\nAbout the Ahmed Zewail Prize in Molecular Sciences\nThe Ahmed Zewail Prize in Molecular Sciences is awarded on a biennial basis to an individual scientist who has made significant and creative contributions, particularly those of a fundamental nature, to any of the disciplines of molecular sciences. The awardee\u0027s research activities may cover theoretical and\/or experimental aspects of studies in all phases of matter and biological systems.\n\nThe Prize consists of a monetary award of US$ 20,000, a Gold Medal, and a certificate. The awarding of the Prize takes place at the Ahmed Zewail Prize Award Symposium at the ACS Spring National Meetings.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"Mostafa El-Sayed Wins Ahmed Zewail Prize in Molecular Sciences for his seminal contributions to the understanding of the electronic and molecular dynamics and properties of systems with different length scales, ranging from molecules to nanoparticles to biomedical systems.","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"American Chemical Society gives honor to chemistry professor"}],"uid":"27310","created_gmt":"2009-04-29 00:00:00","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:01:29","author":"David Terraso","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2009-04-29T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2009-04-29T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"1317","name":"News Briefs"}],"categories":[{"id":"141","name":"Chemistry and Chemical Engineering"},{"id":"135","name":"Research"}],"keywords":[{"id":"743","name":"acs"},{"id":"89","name":"chemistry"},{"id":"741","name":"el-sayed"},{"id":"742","name":"mostafa"},{"id":"102","name":"Prize"},{"id":"740","name":"zewali"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"David Terraso\u003Cbr \/\u003ECommunications and Marketing\u003Cbr \/\u003E404-385-2966","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
