I braved darkness and rain to score this photo of a Contour Airlines Embraer ERJ-135. The charter flight is carrying the Grand Canyon University women's basketball back to Phoenix after a Saturday afternoon game at UCSB. #contourairlines #embraer #avgeek #UCSB

Three academics affiliated with U.S. universities have been awarded the
2025 Nobel Prize in Physics

“for the discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunnelling and energy quantisation in an electric circuit,”
the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announcedTuesday morning.

British physicist John Clarke, a professor of experimental physics at the University of California, Berkeley;

French physicist Michel Devoret, professor emeritus of applied physics at Yale and a professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara;

and John Martinis, also a physics professor at UCSB,
will share the nearly $1.2 million prize.

They won for performing a series of experiments using an electronic circuit made of superconductors, which can conduct a current with no electrical resistance,
demonstrating
“that quantum mechanical properties can be made concrete on a macroscopic scale,”
according to the announcement.

“It is wonderful to be able to celebrate the way that century-old quantum mechanics continually offers new surprises.

It is also enormously useful, as quantum mechanics is the foundation of all digital technology,”
said Olle Eriksson, chair of the Nobel Committee for Physics.

Glad to see that the legal battle between the @internetarchive and the recording industry has been resolved, and hope that this means the Great 78 Project can continue.

A post-fire vegetation recovery research camera site on the Sedgwick Reserve (Santa Ynez Valley, California). This is an Ecosystem Phenology Camera Network research image.

Research supported by the La Kretz Research Center at Sedgwick Reserve.

As part of a post-fire research program, a new camera site has been established at the Sedgwick Reserve in the Santa Ynez Valley (California). Camera images will help document scrub recovery following a 2024 fire that burned approximately 3000 acres of the reserve. Dominant species in the landscape include Salvia leucophylla; Hesperoyucca whipplei; Avena fatue; and Brassica nigra. In this image, the vegetation is generally tan, yellow, brown, and gold. The slopes behind have a few trees and the sky is blue.
