Year 2025: Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics
ALICE Collaboration.
About
The Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics honors major,
paradigm-shifting contributions to our understanding of the
deepest laws of nature, including: Quantum field theory, Particle
physics, Cosmology, Gravitation and string theory, Physics beyond
the Standard Model. It recognizes work that changes how we think
about the Universe, not incremental advances.
