The Kavli Foundation was founded in 2000 by Fred Kavli, a businessman turned philanthropist, in order to probe three main areas of science??astrophysics, nanoscience, and neuroscience. The money from the foundation is given with no strings attached, with the hope that researchers will explore the frontiers of these three disciplines without having to worry about producing usable applications. “The interesting thing about Fred Kavli is that...
