Today, Tuesday 7 October 2025, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics to John Clarke, Michel Devoret, and John Martinis. Their prize-winning work proves that quantum mechanical effects—long thought to exist only at microscopic scales—can be observed in macroscopic circuits. It’s an extraordinary step toward bridging the gap between quantum theory and real-world technologies.
A team of scientists based at CSIR-Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB) in Hyderabad, India has solved an important piece of how cells build their internal skeleton. Using cryo-electron microscopy, the researchers showed how a protein called SPIN90 forms a pair and activates the Arp2/3 complex to start new actin filaments. This work explains a long-standing mystery about how straight actin filaments can be made inside cells and helps us understand cell movement, shape and some disease processes.
The James Webb Space Telescope, known as Webb, is giving scientists new ways to spot atmospheres like Earth’s on distant planets. Webb looks at faint infrared light. That light can carry the fingerprints of gases such as water vapor, carbon dioxide, oxygen, methane and ozone. These are the same gases that help make Earth habitable.
