From an analysis of his experimental Iprowess, his written contributions, his lectures, and even from the details of the illustrations he used in his published papers or during his lectures to scientific and other audiences, Ahmed Zewail, by this or any other definition, was a stylist par excellence. For more than a quarter of a century, I interacted with Ahmed (and members of his family) very regularly. Sometimes he and I spoke several times a week during long-distance calls. Despite our totally different backgrounds we became the strongest of friends, and we got on with one another like the proverbial house on fire. We collaborated scientifi- cally and we adjudicated one another’s work, as well as that of others. We frequently exchanged culturally interesting stories. We each relished the challenge of delivering popular lectures. In common with very many others, I deem him to be unforgettable, for a variety of different reasons. He was one of the intellectually ablest persons that I have ever met. He possessed elemental energy. He executed a succession of brilliant experiments. And, almost single-handedly, he created the subject of femtochemistry, with all its magnificent manifestations and ramifications. From the time we first began to exchange ideas, I felt a growing affinity for his personality and attitude. This was reinforced when I told him that, ever since I was a teenager, I had developed a deep interest in Egyptology and a love for modern Egypt.

ONAMI is an unprecedented collaboration between the state’s three major research universities, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, the State of Oregon, and private industry. Industrial partners include such Oregon giants as Hewlett-Packard Co., Intel, Tektronics, FEI Company, and Electro Scientific Indus- tries. Chemistry Professor Vince Remcho became involved with ONAMI through his participation in the OSU/PNNL Microproducts Breakthrough Institute. Part of the ONAMI concept is to encourage small business growth in the Oregon high-tech sec- tor. The ONAMI facility at HP will be an incubator for OSU/UO/PSU interactions with small business start-ups; space will be available for these businesses to under- take work of mutual interest to ONAMI principals. It will be located in Building 11 of the Hewlett-Packard Company’s Corvallis campus for two to three years, until the OSU ONAMI team can move in to a renovated Graf Hall. Research at ONAMI should bring millions of federal research dollars to Oregon and could give Oregon the national recognition it deserves in the world of nanotech- nology and microscale research and development. Remcho comments, “This is an inviting environment to work in as a researcher, and I hope that it will be a means of involving graduate and undergraduate students in work that leads to employment op- portunities.

  • Election Cycle 2015/16 Guidance Notes for Proposers and Candidates
    Election to Fellowship | Election Cycle 2015/16 Guidance Notes for Proposers and Candidates Proposers and Candidates are advised that: 1. The Candidate must be nominated by TWO Fellows: a Lead Proposer and a Seconding Proposer. A list of current Fellows is appended. 2. In order to help correct the under-representation of women in the Fellowship, Fellows are permitted to act as the Lead Proposer for three NEW candidates only each election cycle. However, the nomination of female candidates is exempt from this restriction. 3. All nominations must include: a completed Summary Statement of Recommendation (to include the Candidate’s name, the text of the Statement, the Lead Proposer’s name and signature, and the name of the Seconding Proposer; a completed Summary Curriculum Vitae for the Candidate (to be signed by both the Candidate and the Lead Proposer); and one completed Seconding Proposer Form. 4. These, together with Referees’ reports (see paragraph 12, below), are the only documents that will be used by the Society in considering the nomination. No unsolicited additional materials, references or letters of support will be accepted as part of the nomination. It is therefore imperative that all the relevant sections of the documents are completed as fully as possible. 5. It is the overall responsibility of the Lead Proposer to formulate and present the case for election and to collate all of the relevant forms for submission to the Society. The Lead Proposer must complete the Summary Statement of Recommendation and the Summary Curriculum Vitae; the Seconding Proposer is responsible for completing a Seconding Proposer’s Form and sending it to the Lead Proposer in electronic form (WORD, pdf or scanned).

Thomas was born the son of a coalminer in the Gwendraeth Valley in South Wales. Keywords: Obituary. He graduated with BSc and PhD degrees in chemistry from the University College of Swansea. From 1958, he held academic positions in the University of Wales, initi- ally as Lecturer at Bangor and then (from 1969) as Professor at Aberystwyth. In 1978, he was appointed as Professor and Head of Figure 1 the Department of Physical Chemistry at John Meurig Thomas lecturing. Photograph by the University of Cambridge, before taking Nathan Pitt. up the prestigious role of Director of the Royal Institution (RI) in 1986. Subse- quently, he was Master of Peterhouse, while continuing his research programme at the RI, and he later took up honorary appointments in the Department of Materials Science at the University of Cambridge and the School of Chemistry at Cardiff University. Thomas made major contributions to many key areas of chemical and materials sciences: his early work focused on the developing field of the physical chemistry of solids and included key contributions to mineralogy; but his most significant scientific legacy will be in catalytic science, where he pioneered new techniques and systems, focusing on the development of fundamental knowledge which has allowed the optimization and development of new catalytic technologies.

  • The Man from Penzance – Sir Humphry Davy (1778–1829)
    MATERIALS WORLD The man from Penzance – Sir Humphry Davy (1778 –1829) Davy saw science to be the ultimate truth. He loved the utility and permanence of it and the feeling of progression. He was a bold chemist and an inventor, but he thought like a writer. Ledetta Asfa-Wossen takes a look at his life. 2 1815 92 The number of weeks The year Davy The number of lives Davy took to devise presented his paper claimed at Felling the mining safety on the mining Colliery, Gateshead, lamp at the Royal safety lamp Tyne and Wear, Institution in 1812 avy was out to beat the clock. It was as though he knew he would stop dead at 50. As a young boy, he needed no encouragement. Inquisitive and resourceful, he leapt about with fishing tackle in one pocket and mineral specimens in the other. The eldest of five children and with Dhis father dying at 16, he grew up fast. He taught himself theology, philosophy, poetics, several sciences and seven languages, including Hebrew and Italian. Within a year, he had become a surgeon’s and apothecary’s apprentice. A few years later, he came into contact with a man called Davies Giddy (later known as Davies Gilbert). Gilbert was intrigued by Davy’s behaviour and approach to scientific study. Davy had read Lavoisier’s Traité Élémentaire de Chemie and wanted to repeat his experiments. Gilbert loaned him the use of his library and supported his experimental work. These years were the making of Davy. He cemented himself as a scientist and independent thinker on scientific issues of the time, such as the nature of heat, light and electricity, and began to criticise the doctrines of this chemistry heavyweight.
