At first glance, a Nature Physics paper published online July 25 may have appeared to threaten the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, which says that in the quantum world of electrons, photons and ...

Devised by the German physicist Werner Heisenberg in 1927, the so-called uncertainty principle states that we cannot accurately know both the position and speed of a particle, such as a photon or ...

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 ...
