Richard Bond and George Efstathiou awarded the 2025 Shaw Prize in Astronomy for their research in cosmology, specifically on cosmic microwave background fluctuations.
Their work has been verified by various instruments, contributing to precise determinations of the universe's age, geometry, and mass-energy content.
Efstathiou is a professor at the University of Cambridge, while Bond is a professor at CITA and the University of Toronto.
The Shaw Prize Foundation, established in 2002 by Run Run Shaw, will present the $1.2 million prize at a ceremony in Hong Kong on 21 October.
