The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to John Clarke, Michael Devoret and John Martinis on Tuesday for demonstrating quantum mechanics — the study of how atoms and even smaller particles behave — on a large scale. “[The laureates] used a series of experiments to demonstrate that the bizarre properties of the quantum world can be made concrete in a system big enough to be held in the hand,” read a press release from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. The laureates’ disc...| Scienceline
The 2025 Physics Nobel Prize was announced this week, awarded to John Clarke, Michel Devoret, and John Martinis for building an electrical circuit that exhibited quantum effects like tunneling and energy quantization on a macroscopic scale. Press coverage of this prize tends to focus on two aspects: the idea that these three “scaled up” quantum […]| 4 gravitons
In the early years of physics research, a major discovery could be made with neither funding nor labspace ... conjured out of thin air by curiosity, tenacity, and a love of physics.| Galileo Unbound
The Virial Theorem is a top physics principle. This post highlights its importance as a bridge between classical mechanics, thermodynamics, and quantum physics. It also touches on Rudolph Clausius’s foundational contributions, such as defining entropy and his work on thermodynamics laws.| Galileo Unbound
