Norwegian-born philanthropist Fred Kavli awarded seven scientists his first batch of $1 million prizes for astrophysics, neuroscience and nanotechnology on Wednesday. Kavli, a physicist who left Norway in 1955 with $300 and turned it into a $340 million fortune in California, set up the prize for advances in research ranging from deep space to how the brain works and the use of molecule-sized devices.
