New Horizons in Physics Prize

O New Horizons in Physics Prize é um prêmio anual em física concedido desde 2012 pela Fundamental Physics Prize Foundation a jovens pesquisadores. É dotado com 100.000 dólares. Além disso a fundação concede o Fundamental Physics Prize e o Physics Frontiers Prize.

Nos bastidores da fundação está o oligarca russo Yuri Milner. Do conselho faz parte Steven Weinberg (2012), mas que não participa da seleção dos ganhadores.

* 2018
* Christopher Hirata: "For fundamental contributions to understanding the physics of early galaxy formation and to sharpening and applying the most powerful tools of precision cosmology".
