  Recent developments in quantum physics have been recognised with the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics. The award honours pioneering experiments that demonstrated quantum mechanical properties on a macroscopic scale. This achievement has paved the way for advanced quantum technologies that impact daily life and future innovations. Background of the Nobel Prize in Physics The Nobel Prize in Physics is one of the most prestigious global awards. Established in 1901 by Alfred Nobel ’s will, it celebrates outstanding contributions to science. The prize is awarded by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences . It includes a monetary reward shared among laureates. Past recipients include Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr, pioneers of modern physics. 2025 Laureates and Their Contributions The 2025 prize was awarded to John Clarke, Michel Devoret, and John Martinis. Their work began in the mid-1980s using superconducting electronic circuits. They showed that quantum effects could be observed on a larg...

  India is advancing its air defence capabilities through Mission Sudarshan Chakra. This ambitious project aims to create a nationwide, multilayered air defence shield by 2035. It will integrate thousands of radars, satellites, and directed energy weapons (DEWs) into a single, cohesive network. The system will protect strategic locations and population centres from aerial threats such as hostile aircraft, drones, and missiles. Recent Developments and Strategic Context Mission Sudarshan Chakra was announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a comprehensive, networked defence system. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh brought into light its focus on indigenous technology to ensure self-reliance. The Chief of Defence Staff , General Anil Chauhan, described it as India’s version of the Iron Dome , capable of both defence and offensive operations. The Defence Research and Development Organisation ( DRDO ) recently tested an integrated air defence weapon system combining missiles and lasers...
