Foresight Institute announces 2025 Feynman Prizes winners for groundbreaking achievements in nanotechnology

Foresight Institute is pleased to announce the winners of the 2025 Feynman Prizes for outstanding contributions to nanotechnology: Nicola Marzari and Ben L. Feringa.
Established in 1993, the Feynman Prizes recognize exceptional accomplishments in nanotechnology. They have a strong track record of anticipating future Nobel laureates: in 2007 the prize went to Sir Fraser Stoddart, who won the Nobel Prize in 2016, and David Baker received it two decades before his Nobel Prize in 2024.

This year’s winners are Nicola Marzari (Theory Prize), for developing the theoretical and computational infrastructure that underpins modern atomically precise materials discovery, and Nobel laureate Ben L. Feringa (Experiment Prize), for pioneering the control of molecular motion.
