"Groundbreaking Discoveries in Universe's Structure Earn Scientists Coveted Physics Prizes"

Three scientists have been awarded the New Horizons Prize in Physics and $100,000 for their contributions to understanding the large-scale structure of the universe and developing new tools to extract fundamental physics from galaxy surveys. Their work focuses on studying the cosmic web, a vast interconnected structure of matter that holds clues to the universe's fundamental forces. The prize is given annually to early career researchers by the Breakthrough Prize Foundation, and the money is donated by tech billionaires.

"Mikhail Ivanov Takes Home Prestigious 2024 New Horizons in Physics Breakthrough Prize"

Mikhail Ivanov, an assistant professor of physics, has been awarded the 2024 New Horizons in Physics Prize for his contributions to understanding the large-scale structure of the universe and developing tools to extract fundamental physics from galaxy surveys. Ivanov shares the prize with Marko Simonović from the University of Florence and Oliver Philcox from Columbia University. Their research focuses on the structure of the cosmos at the galactic scale and its potential to provide insights into dark matter, dark energy, and the early universe. The trio created theoretical and practical tools for cosmological parameter estimation from galaxy clustering data, paving the way for new studies in fundamental physics.
