A 'hands-on' answer has been developed to a challenge intricately linked to a very fundamental principle in physics: Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle. The researchers used laser light to link caesium atoms and a vibrating membrane. The research, the first of its kind, points to sensors capable of measuring movement with unseen precision.
