🔆 Radical Tunnel: Physics Nobel 2025
📍 The Discovery
✅ 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.
✅ Their work on Josephson junctions showed that at near absolute zero, electric current can ‘tunnel’ through barriers — a purely quantum phenomenon.
📍 Why It Matters
✅ Opened the path for superconducting qubits, powering quantum computers, precision sensors, and space imaging tools.
✅ Demonstrated that macroscopic quantum behavior can exist and be engineered.
📍 The Deeper Message
✅ The award celebrates curiosity-driven research, not immediate utility.
✅ What began as pure inquiry into nature’s limits now shapes quantum technology and innovation globally.
💡 Mains Question:
How does curiosity-driven fundamental research contribute to long-term technological revolutions?
