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 ...

During the mid- to late-twentieth century, quantum physicists picked apart the unified theory of physics that Einstein’s theory of relativity offered. The physics of the large was governed by gravity, ...

Interferometry has become an indispensable diagnostic tool in plasma physics, enabling the precise measurement of electron densities and detailed imaging of plasma behaviour. By utilising the ...

Mutual attraction: why is it so difficult to pin down the gravitational constant? (Courtesy: iStock/FrankRamspott) Two extremely precise measurements of the gravitational constant G have yielded ...

Scientists using a continent-wide array of radio telescopes have made an extremely precise measurement of the curvature of space caused by the Sun’s gravity. Their technique promises a major ...

The Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS) announced on the 4th that it has developed a length measurement system with precision at the limit allowed by quantum physics. With ...
