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 ...

In terms of science or the history of science, Werner Heisenberg’s visit to Niels Bohr, in September 1941 in German-occupied Denmark, was a nonevent.

We're always intrigued by Netflix's international content - some of their most successful shows and movies have come from abroad, like Lupin, Elite and Money Heist. Their new movie Brick, a ...

Today, physicists are still asking themselves whether quantum mechanics needs hypercomplex numbers. FAU researchers Ece Ipek Saruhan, Prof. Dr. Joachim von Zanthier and Dr. Marc Oliver Pleinert have ...

This idea, known as Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, has been a key part of studying the quantum realm for almost a decade – but now physicists are even more certain about their uncertainty.
