Welcome to the show, intrepid minds and midnight thinkers, to the one and only 🎙️ "Revise and Resubmit" 🌟—your backstage pass to groundbreaking research, big ideas, and the stories behind the science that shapes our world.
Today, we’re diving straight into history: this episode spotlights THE most prestigious work in physics this year—the Nobel Prize in Physics 2025! 🏆 Announced just hours ago by The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, this quantum crown goes to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret, and John M. Martinis, for their jaw-dropping discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunnelling and energy quantisation in an electric circuit. That’s right—quantum weirdness, not just in some hidden atom, but in a system you can hold in your hand!⚡🔬
Their experiments unlocked a new door: can quantum laws, usually tucked away in the tiniest corners of reality, emerge on a scale that even your grandma could pass around the dining table? With circuits built of superconductors and Josephson junctions, these brilliant minds watched as a whole system, packed with particles, pulled off the quantum stunt of tunnelling and popping between energy levels—just like a single electron in the textbooks, but writ large on a silicon chip.
It’s mind-bending, rule-breaking, and future-shaping—fuel for tomorrow’s quantum computers, cryptography, and sensors. And fun fact: you use quantum tech every day, whispering through your phone chips, thanks to ancestors of this very research! 🖥️💡
If your inner explorer just did a backflip or your curiosity quivered like Schrödinger’s cat, smash that subscribe button for "Revise and Resubmit" on Spotify, catch us in full technicolor on our YouTube channel "Weekend Researcher," or tune in via Amazon Prime and Apple Podcast. 🎧✨
But here’s the brain-teaser: if a quantum system the size of your palm can break the rules—how big could it go? Will we ever see entire objects, or even living things, tunnelling through barriers?
