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 ...

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 ...

What is the meaning of Heisenberg’s analogy? (Courtesy: German Federal Archives) A row has broken out among physicists over an analogy used by Werner Heisenberg in 1927 to make sense of his famous ...

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 ...

The continued development of the High Temperature Gas Cooled Reactors (HTGRs) requires verification of HTGR design and safety features with reliable high fidelity physics models and robust, efficient, ...

In the Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy, “Heisenberg, Werner” lies between “Heidegger, Martin” and “Hell.” That is precisely where he belongs. Heisenberg, one of the inventors of quantum mechanics ...
