more2025 Nobel Prize in Physics: One-minute crash course
Quantum tunnelling The 2025 physics prize is about quantum mechanics. What is it? Quantum mechanics is the field that scientists use to describe the small world, at the level of atoms and particles. At this level, different physical laws apply. A special science, quantum mechanics, is needed to explain how everything is connected. One of…

moreHigh hopes for quantum technologies
Although still in its early stages, quantum computing is advancing rapidly, along with quantum technologies as a whole. Nobel Prize-awarded work on entangled quantum states and quantum mechanical tunnelling were driving forces behind this progress. Applications of quantum technologies are anticipated to improve our daily lives and contribute to solving global challenges. Quantum mechanics underpins…
