One of the most often quoted, yet least understood, tenets of physics is the uncertainty principle. Formulated by German physicist Werner Heisenberg in 1927, the rule states that the more precisely ...

Abstract: In this talk, we discuss the construction of admissible, physics-consistent and identifiable stochastic models for uncertainty quantification. We first consider a continuum mechanics setting ...

Uncertainty affects the accuracy with which measurements can be made in quantum physics. To reduce this uncertainty, physicists have learned to "squeeze" certain measurements. Researchers are now ...

There are a whole bunch of words whose precise technical meaning in a scientific context differs from the common everyday meaning in ways that obstruct communication between scientists and the general ...

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 continued development of the High Temperature Gas Cooled Reactors (HTGRs) requires verification of HTGR design and safety features with reliable high fidelity physics models and robust, efficient, ...
