Three scientists at US universities win Nobel Prize in physics

Three scientists have won the Nobel Prize in physics for research on the strange behavior of subatomic particles called quantum tunneling. It enabled the ultra-sensitive measurements achieved by MRI machines and laid the groundwork for better cellphones and faster computers. The work by John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis was honored Tuesday. The three work at American universities. They took the seeming contradictions of the subatomic world and applied them in the more traditional physics of digital devices. The results of their findings are just starting to appear in advanced technology and could pave the way for the development of supercharged computing.

Oh, so I guess there *are* still physicists doing physics...

Please, Radio4, your metaphors are destroying my will to live! That's the plan, isn't it!? đŸ˜±

"quantum tunnelling is like a barrier, think of it as like a hill and the electron needs to have enough petrol to go over it" [paraphrase but very close]

In that light, here's my suggestion: After honoring Roger Penrose last year, who, don't get me wrong, certainly deserved any prestigious award, he's still much more of a mathematician, so something like the Fields Medal might have been much more fitting, even back when he was young enough to fit their profile. But nevermind, Ed Witten got that one, one of the most intimidating theoretical pysicists you might imagine, and not a mathematician.

So this is the second year in a row where the Nobel for physics didn't go to a physicist. Maybe the reason is simply that physicists have stopped making progress. There is just nothing to award for, so of course the commitee reached out to adjacent professions. It's either that or not award the prize at all!

The announcement of the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics left me wondering if JK Rowling or Paulo Coelho are contenders for the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

It is true that in condensed matter physics (CMP) the application(s) is far away in the future. And it should be generalised to other sciences too. In fact, Anderson localisation discovered in 1958 and won Nobel Prize for Physics 1977 still has not found its practical application. But Nobel Prize is not awarded for practical applications; it’s for groundbreaking discoveries. ‹#NobelPhysics‹#NobelPrize‹#Andersonlocalisation

Christmas reading about the magical genius, Nobel-prize winning physicist Phil Anderson. Trying to finish reading it in between teaching and research.
