How is the brain so efficient? How did the Milky Way form and grow? How do scientists build materials one atom at a time? These are the kinds of questions that drive scientific discovery, and the questions explored by the 2026 #KavliPrize Laureates. 1/3

How can our brains be so efficient? The 2026 #KavliPrize #Neuroscience Laureates broke longstanding beliefs and revealed that proteins form locally at synapses, right where neurons transmit signals, not in the cell body like previously thought. Learn more at kavliprize.org.

A cosmic collision reshaped our galaxy. Clues in the stars reveal that the Milky Way evolved by colliding and merging with other galaxies over billions of years. Meet the 2026 #KavliPrize #Astrophysics Laureates behind the discovery. kavliprize.org

A tiny twist can change everything. The 2026 #KavliPrize Laureates pioneered Twistronics, revealed how rotating ultra-thin materials to a precise “magic angle” unlocks extraordinary electron properties and new possibilities for quantum technologies and #nanoscience.

Tomorrow, the wait is over. The 2026 #KavliPrize Laureates will be announced, recognizing scientists whose discoveries are transforming our understanding of the universe, matter, & the brain. Join us as we celebrate the discoveries expanding the frontiers of human knowledge.

We mourn the loss of Rainer Weiss, an astrophysicist whose vision led to the first detection of gravitational waves. A laureate of both The Kavli Prize and the @nobelprize.bsky.social, his legacy forever changed how we understand the universe.

In honor of Fred Kavli's birthday, we remember the founder of The Kavli Prize and the visionary who believed in the power of science. Fred Kavli was known for his many philanthropic contributions to society, but it was his deep sense of responsibility that led him to create The Kavli Prize.

We extend our deep condolences to A. James Hudspeth's loved ones. Jim was a valuable member of The Kavli Prize community. He was a Kavli Prize laureate, recognized for his discoveries that reshaped sensory neuroscience. Learn more about Jim: bit.ly/4mlCrj4
