Uncertainty affects the accuracy with which measurements can be made in quantum physics. To reduce this uncertainty, physicists have learned to "squeeze" certain measurements. Researchers are now ...

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 ...

Accurately tracking atmospheric greenhouse gases requires not only fast predictions but also reliable estimates of uncertainty.

Daniel Shaddock is co-founder of Liquid Instruments and professor of physics at the Australian National University in Canberra. He spoke with Hamish Johnston about innovation in the test and ...
