Annual $10,000 prize for advances in usable security, honoring computer scientist Norm Hardy (known for identifying the confused deputy vulnerability and developing KeyKOS). Recognizes work helping users make wise security decisions through intuitive system design, user studies, and interaction design principles. Sponsored by Agoric and Protocol Labs.

Annual $5,000 prize for theoretical work advancing molecular manufacturing — the construction of atomically-precise products through molecular machine systems. Named after Richard Feynman's 1959 lecture 'There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom.' Two Feynman Prize recipients later won Nobel Prizes: David Baker (2004 Feynman → 2024 Chemistry Nobel) and J. Fraser Stoddart (2007 Feynman → 2016 Chemistry Nobel).
