One of the most striking features of quantum physics is that certain properties cannot be measured at the same time. Every measurement may inevitably affect the object's physical state being ...

Scientists studying a mysterious effect called cosmic birefringence—a subtle twist in the polarization of the universe’s oldest light—have developed a new way to reduce uncertainty in how it’s ...

The magnetic moment of the muon is an important precision parameter for putting the Standard Model of particle physics to the test. After years of work, the research group led by Professor Hartmut ...

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 ...

In nuclear beta decay an up quark ‘u’ in a proton converts into an up down quark ‘d,’ turning the proton into a neutron and emitting a positron and a neutrino. This work affects interpretation of beta ...

shred (ʃrɛd), verb (intransitive, slang): to play an electric guitar using sets of notes in a way that produces a sound that is distorted (i.e. strange and sometimes unpleasant) – a rather dubious ...

The experiment Linköping University’s Joakim Argillander and Daniel Spegel-Lexne were part of the team that investigated the relationship between quantum uncertainty and wave–particle duality.
