Exquisitely Sensitive Microwave Amplifier Increases Nanoscale Measurement Accuracy

In the weird world of quantum mechanics, sub-atomic particles such as electrons and photons behave in strange ways that make no sense on the human scale. One of the counter-intuitive concepts of quantum mechanics is the uncertainty principle, which says that you can't pin a particle down.
