π Radical Tunnel: Physics Nobel 2025
π The Discovery
β
John Clarke, Michel Devoret, and John Martinis win the 2025 Physics Nobel for proving that quantum laws govern entire electric circuits, not just subatomic particles.
β
Their work on Josephson junctions showed that at near absolute zero, electric current can βtunnelβ through barriers β a purely quantum phenomenon.
π Why It Matters
β
Opened the path for superconducting qubits, powering quantum computers, precision sensors, and space imaging tools.
β
Demonstrated that macroscopic quantum behavior can exist and be engineered.
π The Deeper Message
β
The award celebrates curiosity-driven research, not immediate utility.
β
What began as pure inquiry into natureβs limits now shapes quantum technology and innovation globally.
π‘ Mains Question:
How does curiosity-driven fundamental research contribute to long-term technological revolutions?
