An entrepreneur looking to grow his business probably wouldn't think to pick the brain of an early 20th-century physicist and pioneer of quantum mechanics. But marketing experts have applied the work ...

ICFO Researchers report the discovery of a new technique that could drastically improve the sensitivity of instruments such as magnetic resonance imagers (MRIs) and atomic clocks. The study, published ...

The White House has a scientific explanation for why reporters aren't allowed to view President Barack Obama's interactions with campaign donors: The very act of observing an event can change the ...

Werner Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, formulated by the theoretical physicist in 1927, is one of the cornerstones of quantum mechanics. The principle has bedeviled quantum physicists for nearly a ...

(LiveScience) More than 80 years after the uncertainty principle was first proposed, scientists are ironing out some uncertainties about the famous physics notion. The uncertainty principle, proposed ...

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 Heisenberg principle -- the idea that to look at something is to change it. The Heisenberg principle -- also the reason the White House gives for not allowing reporters to witness ...

In 1927, Werner Heisenberg was in Denmark working at Niels Bohr's research institute in Copenhagen. The two scientists worked closely on theoretical investigations into quantum theory and the nature ...
