By using something called a quantum grid, scientists have found a clever way to simultaneously measure momentum and position without violating Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.

In January I wrote a piece titled “ 5 Physics Equations Everyone Should Know .” Lots of you weighed in with your own nominations, and there were plenty of good suggestions. So I’ve decided to do a ...

Scientists reveal unprecedented ability to "side-step" the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle by simultaneously measuring location and momentum ...

For almost a century, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle has stood as one of the defining ideas of quantum physics: a particle's position and momentum cannot be known at the same time with absolute ...

Cold atoms could also potentially measure much lower vacuum pressures than ion gauges can. The current lowest pressure they’ve reliably measured is around 10 -9 Pa, and NIST scientists are working on ...

DEAR DR. ROACH: A cardiologist recently suggested that I should consider taking a statin because of my “borderline” cholesterol level. So, I took a dive into the details of statin therapy. I learned ...

Abstract: GNSS time transfer is the main technology currently used in UTC generation. GNSS reception chains need to be calibrated for ensuring accuracy and long-term stability of time links. This ...
