Physicists have measured both the momentum and position of a particle without breaking Heisenberg’s iconic uncertainty principle. In quantum mechanics, particles don’t have fixed properties the way ...

Einstein was a great thinker who made plenty of mistakes—errors that sometimes led to more meaningful discoveries in physics, ...

James is a published author with multiple pop-history and science books to his name. He specializes in history, space, strange science, and anything out of the ordinary.View full profile James is a ...

Scientists are like prospectors, excavating the natural world seeking gems of knowledge about physical reality. And in the century just past, scientists have dug deep enough to discover that reality’s ...

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 ...

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 ...

Here’s what you’ll learn in this story: The measurement problem in quantum mechanics looks at how an experimental outcome changes, simply by observing it. While most physicists agree that human ...
