A team of physicists say they have found a way to sidestep Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, one of the more troublesome and irritating rules of our universe. Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, for ...

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 ...

For centuries, scientific progress has depended on more precise tools for measuring the world around us. Galileo’s telescope revealed Jupiter’s moons and shook the geocentric universe.

Gear-obsessed editors choose every product we review. We may earn commission if you buy from a link. Why Trust Us? An instrument from the 1800s recently got a quantum makeover to measure qubit ...

A cornerstone of quantum physics is uncertainty. Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle states the more precisely you pinpoint the position of a particle, the less precisely you can know its momentum at ...

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 ...

The Heisenberg uncertainty principle, which has origins in physics, "states that there is a limit to the precision with which certain pairs of physical properties of a particle, such as position and ...

NPR's Ari Shapiro recently began a report about the expected flood of lawyers in post-election Florida by stating: In quantum physics, there's a theory called Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. It ...

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 ...

In a stunning leap for quantum optics, scientists have generated ultrafast light pulses whose quantum uncertainty can be ...

For centuries, scientific progress has depended on more precise tools for measuring the world around us. Galileo’s telescope revealed Jupiter’s moons and shook the geocentric universe. Thomas Young’s ...
