The Nobel Prize is one of the world’s most prestigious honours, awarded every year to individuals or organisations who have made exceptional contributions to humanity. Named after Alfred Nobel— the Swedish inventor, entrepreneur, and philanthropist— the prize reflects his wish that his fortune be used to recognize those who bring “the greatest benefit to humankind.” Since its inception, the Nobel Prize has become a global symbol of excellence, innovation, and impact. Each year, laureates are chosen across five key fields: Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine, Literature, and Peace— celebrating achievements that shape our world for the better.
The Nobel Prize winners are announced in October each year. The winner announcements for 2025 began on October 6 and they will go on till October 13. The Nobel Prize 2025 in Physics winner was announced today.
Nobel Prize 2025 in Physics winner announced
'The Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the Nobel Prize in Physics 2025 to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret, and John M. Martinis “for the discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunnelling and energy quantisation in an electric circuit,” reads a statement on their official website.
Why the winners won the Nobel Prize 2025 in Physics
John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret, and John M. Martinis won the Nobel Prize in Physics 2025 as "Their experiments on a chip revealed quantum physics in action". Explaining their work, a statement on the official website of the Prizes reads, 'A major question in physics is the maximum size of a system that can demonstrate quantum mechanical effects. This year’s Nobel Prize laureates conducted experiments with an electrical circuit in which they demonstrated both quantum mechanical tunnelling and quantised energy levels in a system big enough to be held in the hand. This year’s Nobel Prize in Physics has provided opportunities for developing the next generation of quantum technology , including quantum cryptography, quantum computers, and quantum sensors'.
What do Nobel Prize winners get
Each Nobel Prize winner receives a gold medal, an official diploma, and a generous cash award, as per reports. In 2023, the monetary prize was around 11 million Swedish kronor — more than 1 million USD. Depending on the category, the prize may be shared by up to three individuals who have made significant contributions in their field. Interestingly, the Nobel Peace Prize can also be awarded to organizations that work toward global peace and conflict resolution. These honours are not just rewards but a celebration of human brilliance and compassion — recognizing those who shape a better, more hopeful world.
