Eight scientists from three countries are honored for their research that has broadened our understanding of the big, the small and the complex. The laureates in each field will share $1 million USD. [kavliprize.org](www.kavliprize.org) [Astrophysics](www.kavliprize.org) The 2024 Kavli Prize in Astrophysics honors David Charbonneau and Sara Seager for discoveries of exoplanets and the characterization of their atmospheres. They pioneered methods for the detection of atomic species in planetary atmospheres and the measurement of their thermal infrared emission, setting the stage for finding the molecular fingerprints of atmospheres around both giant and rocky planets. [Nanoscience](www.kavliprize.org) The 2024 Kavli Prize in Nanoscience honors Robert Langer, Paul Alivisatos and Chad Mirkin who each revolutionized the field of nanomedicine by demonstrating how engineering nanoscale materials can advance biomedical research and application. Their discoveries contributed foundationally to the development of therapeutics, vaccines, bioimaging and diagnostics. [Neuroscience](www.kavliprize.org) The 2024 Kavli Prize in Neuroscience honors Nancy Kanwisher, Doris Tsao and Winrich Freiwald for the discovery of a specialized system within the brain to recognize faces. Their discoveries have provided basic principles of neural organization and enabled further research on how the processing of visual information is integrated with other cognitive functions.
