Space agencies, including NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA), are closely monitoring 3I/ATLAS using a variety of telescopes and spacecraft.

2025 Physics Nobel Clarke, Devoret & Martinis for Quantum Tunnelling

The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to John Clarke (University of California, Berkeley), Michel H. Devoret (Yale University and University of California, Santa Barbara), and John M. Martinis (University of California, Santa Barbara) for their pioneering work in demonstrating quantum mechanical tunnelling and energy quantisation in superconducting circuits.

Their groundbreaking experiments in the 1980s revealed that quantum phenomena, previously observed only at microscopic scales, could also manifest in macroscopic systems. By observing quantum tunnelling in superconducting circuits large enough to be held in hand, they bridged the gap between quantum mechanics and practical applications.

This discovery has laid the foundation for advancements in quantum computing, cryptography, and sensing technologies. The Nobel Committee highlighted the significance of their work in making quantum effects observable and usable in everyday technology.

The laureates will receive their awards from Sweden’s King Carl XVI Gustaf at a formal ceremony in Stockholm on December 10, 2025.
