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).- Program Type

Source evidence
1 src · 2 checksNoteAll three key fields are confirmed by the source: (1) Name: 'Feynman Prize in Nanotechnology (Theory)' is explicitly stated in the source heading and category section. (2) Budget: The source clearly states '$5,000' for the Feynman Theory Prize. (3) Status: The program is described as 'Awarded annually' with a 2026 deadline ('31 July 2026') and recent 2025 winners listed, confirming it is currently open and active. No contradictions detected.
NoteQUA-650 retro-scan: The source is about the Feynman Prizes as a whole program with multiple categories, not specifically about the 'Feynman Prize in Nanotechnology (Theory)' as a distinct entity. Per QUA-648, a specific category/subcategory is a different entity from the broader prize program that contains it.
