One of the most often quoted, yet least understood, tenets of physics is the uncertainty principle. Formulated by German physicist Werner Heisenberg in 1927, the rule states that the more precisely ...

Revolutions in science don’t come that often, but the book De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (On the revolutions of the heavenly spheres) published in 1543 certainly caused one. The work by Nicolas ...

Today, we can measure the position of an object with unprecedented accuracy, but the uncertainty principle places fundamental limits on our ability to measure. Noise that results from of the quantum ...

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 ...

It’s a fundamental principle of physics that particles with opposite charges attract each other, while those with the same charge repel. But now, scientists at the University of Oxford have found that ...

That evening, computer scientist Howard Gayle responded with a facetious message titled “WARNING!” He claimed that an ...

Researchers created scalable quantum circuits capable of simulating fundamental nuclear physics on more than 100 qubits.

shred (ʃrɛd), verb (intransitive, slang): to play an electric guitar using sets of notes in a way that produces a sound that is distorted (i.e. strange and sometimes unpleasant) – a rather dubious ...
