Quantum particles are not really just particles…they are also waves. The word uncertainty is used a lot in quantum mechanics. One school of thought is that this means there's something out there in ...

In 1927, Werner Heisenberg was in Denmark working at Niels Bohr's research institute in Copenhagen. The two scientists worked closely on theoretical investigations into quantum theory and the nature ...

A new quantum measurement technique reshapes uncertainty, allowing precision once thought impossible under Heisenberg’s principle.

If you’re a physics fan like me, you’ll know the famous Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle that states you cannot know a particle’s exact location and velocity at the same time. If you shine a light on ...

State-of-the-art sensors, such as MRIs and atomic clocks, are capable of making measurements with exquisite precision. MRI is used to image tissues deep within the human body and tells us whether we ...

Heard of Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle? It says the more certain we are of a quantum particle’s position, the less certain we are of its velocity, and vice versa. While that deals solely with the ...
