Heisenberg: The Uncertainty Principle REVIEW
In Heisenberg: The Uncertainty Principle (the title is a philosophical red herring), two strangers meet at a station and embark on a relationship that is at once utterly unbelievable and drearily predictable. Georgie (Anne-Marie Duff) is a kooky American of the kind that is, thankfully, only encountered on stage and film (think bargainbasement Annie Hall); […]
‘The Deuce’ Episode 3 Recap: “The Principle is All”
One of the more surprising elements of the first two episodes of The Deuce is the byplay between Vinnie and Frankie, the twin brothers played by James Franco. It’s no shock that Franco plays them both well (when he digs out of his own colon, he’s an excellent performer); the surprise is that he and […]
Negative mass swing beats the uncertainty principle
Enlarge (credit: Christopher Gutiérrez, Daniel Walkup/NIST) Quantum mechanics comes with something called the uncertainty principle. This states that there are pairs of properties that cannot be simultaneously known to arbitrary precision. This is not due to the way a measurement changes the properties of what it measures. Instead, it is due to how quantum mechanics […]
Quantum principle harnessed to create easier wireless charging
Enlarge / The developers of a new wireless charging tech are thinking big—automobile battery big. (credit: Oak Ridge National Lab) Anyone who has ever left the house without remembering to charge their cellphone can appreciate the concept of wireless power transfer. All you would have to do is remember to drop your phone on your […]
