Feynman Prizes - Foresight Institute Engage / Prizes / Feynman Prizes Nominate for the 2026 prizes Recognizing exceptional contributions to nanotechnology Richard Feynman’s 1959 lecture, “There’s Plenty of Room at the Bottom“ , is widely credited as inspiring the field of nanotechnology.
Named in honor of the renowned physicist, the Feynman Prizes celebrate his groundbreaking vision for science, by recognizing exceptional contributions that advance nanotechnology. Prizes for future Nobel Laureates The Feynman Prizes have a track record of recognizing important work early.
Previous winners include two Nobel Laureates – David Baker who won the Feynman Prize in 2004 and the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2024 , and Sir Fraser Stoddart who won the 2007 Feynman Prize, and the 2016 Nobel Prize in Chemistry . We award the Feynman Prizes in two categories annually – Theory and Experiment.
There is also the $250,000 Grand Prize, yet to be claimed, for the first team who designs, constructs, and demonstrates a functional nano-scale robotic arm, and a functional nano-scale computing device. In addition, the Foresight Institute Distinguished Student Award recognizes the most notable work from a college graduate or undergraduate student each year.
Feynman Theory Prize ($5,000) Awarded annually for excellence in theory to the researchers whose recent work has most advanced the achievement of Feynman’s goal for nanotechnology: molecular manufacturing, defined as the construction of atomically-precise products through the use of molecular machine systems.
Feynman Experiment Prize ($5,000) Awarded annually for excellence in experimentation to the researchers whose recent work has most advanced the achievement of Feynman’s goal for nanotechnology: molecular manufacturing, defined as the construction of atomically-precise products through the use of molecular machine systems.
Foresight Institute Distinguished Student Award ($1,000) Awarded annually to the college graduate or undergraduate student whose work is considered most notable in advancing the development and understanding of nanotechnology.
Feynman Grand Prize ($250,000) Will be awarded to the first team who designs, constructs, and demonstrates both a functional nano-scale robotic arm and a functional nano-scale computing device with specified features. Specifications for the Grand Prize …the rewards awaiting those who achieve significant nanotechnology breakthroughs will be far greater than the prize itself.
