A team of physicists say they have found a way to sidestep Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, one of the more troublesome ...

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 ...

An entrepreneur looking to grow his business probably wouldn't think to pick the brain of an early 20th-century physicist and pioneer of quantum mechanics. But marketing experts have applied the work ...

Almost a century ago, German physicist Werner Heisenberg realised the laws of quantum mechanics placed some fundamental limits on how accurately we can measure certain properties of microscopic ...

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 ...

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 ...
