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 ...

Werner Heisenberg's high school years were interrupted by World War I, when he had to leave school to help harvest crops in Bavaria. Back in Munich after the war, he volunteered as a messenger for ...

By the end of the year the physicist Werner Heisenberg had calculated that nuclear fission chain reactions might be possible. When slowed down and controlled in a "uranium machine" (nuclear ...

The Heisenberg uncertainty principle says that we cannot know both the position and the momentum of a particle at once Imagine driving a car fitted with a GPS navigation system that glitches ...

Researchers have experimentally recreated another fundamental theoretical model from quantum physics, which goes back to the Nobel Prize laureate Werner Heisenberg. The basis for the successful ...

Werner Heisenberg's trip to Heligoland in June 1925 is a legend. Plagued by hay fever, the 23-year old escaped to the pollen-free island in the North Sea, to return with deep insight that would ...

Empa researchers have experimentally recreated a fundamental theoretical model from quantum physics, originally proposed by Nobel Prize winner Werner Heisenberg. The experiment was based on "quantum ...

The event celebrated the 100th anniversary of several seminal quantum-science publications, including Wolfgang Pauli’s paper ...

Heisenberg and Euler could see this milestone on the horizon of extremes, yet I doubt they thought we'd reach it so quickly. Science moves forward, at least in part, by pursuing extremes ...
