Фемтохимия - за работы в этой области А. Зивэйл получил Нобелевскую премию по химии 1999 г.: «за исследования химических реакций в реальном масштабе времени с помощью фемтосекундной спектроскопии». Главный результат работ состоит в том, что появилась возможность наблюдать за протеканием элементарных химических реакций "в реальном масштабе времени" и тем самым создан новый раздел химии – фемто-химия, который изучает химические процессы в фемтосекундном временном диапазоне (10^-15 – 10^-12 секунды). Изучением элементарных реакций занимается специальный раздел химии – химическая динамика. Основная задача химической динамики – определить структуру переходного состояния и проследить динамику его образования и распада в реальном времени.
