The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret, and John M. Martinis for demonstrating macroscopic quantum tunneling in electrical circuits. Their work proves that quantum behaviors, typically seen at microscopic scales, also manifest in larger systems, essential for advancing quantum computing and understanding fundamental physics.
Physics is often thought of as the science of the universe—explaining how matter and energy behave. But its applications go far beyond astronomy and engineering. In fact, physics plays a vital role in modern medicine, powering many of the tools… Read More ›
For generations of scientists and enthusiasts, The Feynman Lectures on Physics—the iconic “red books”—represent a unique, often debated, approach to learning the laws of nature. More than just a textbook, this three-volume set is a direct transcription of the legendary… Read More ›
NASA’s Voyager spacecraft discovered a “Kelvin wall,” a hot plasma region at the solar system’s edge, with temperatures between 30,000-50,000 Kelvin. Voyager 1 and 2 crossed this boundary in 2012 and 2018. Despite extreme temperatures, low particle density prevents damage. Both spacecraft continue to study interstellar space as of June 2025.
Calculus is a mathematical discipline that is used to study continuously changing quantities. It is essential in physics for modeling and understanding a wide range of physical phenomena, from the motion of objects to the behavior of electric and magnetic fields.
Why pressure is a scalar quantity. Students are confused because they know the formula for pressure in terms of force and area. They feel that if force is a vector, pressure should be a vector. Here’s the answer: Let’s discuss… Read More ›

Digital systems are systems that use discrete values to represent information or data. They offer advantages such as high accuracy, easy storage and transmission, easy manipulation, reliability, and scalability. However, they also have disadvantages such as limited resolution, sampling errors, higher cost, data security concerns, and dependency on technology.

Why is it important to solve a question bank for your board exams?
Solving past question papers is like practicing for a marathon. It helps you familiarize yourself with the exam pattern, types of questions, and marks allotted for each topic. It also exposes you to unexpected questions that may not be covered in your textbook. By solving more papers, you will gain confidence and be better prepared for the actual exam.
How to prepare for Physics Board exams? How many books to read? How to make notes?In this post we discuss these and other related questions about physics exams.
This was a question in a physics degree exam at the University of Copenhagen: “Describe how to determine the height of a skyscraper with a barometer.” One student replied: “You tie a long piece of string to the neck of… Read More ›
Physics Practicals: An Essential Part of Physics Learning and Teaching
Experimental work in a physics laboratory is an essential part of physics learning and teaching. It allows students to test the laws of physics and verify that the experimental results are in accordance with the theory. Students also learn experimental techniques, how to work with apparatus, and find errors in calculations.
In this article, we will discuss the importance of physics practicals, the different types of activities involved, and how to make the most of your time in the lab.
What is physics education research (PER)? Why is this field of study important? The state of physics education research.

Why is Physics so hard? Do you find Physics difficult? Do you know what are the reasons for that? In this article I discuss some of the “pain points” as far as physics is concerned. See what applies to you and that will help you overcome those difficulties.
The content discusses converting temperatures from Celsius to Fahrenheit using the formula °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32. It also presents a simpler approximation method, where doubling the Celsius temperature and adding 30 yields a close result. Accuracy varies, with minimal error between 0°C and 30°C, but less reliable at higher temperatures. The reverse process from Fahrenheit to Celsius is also simplified.
