This little article in New Scientist could be of huge significance. It suggests that measurement more precise than dictated by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle can be achieved. Now I know that such claims have to be taken with a grain of salt and the short-of-detail article doesn't really say much other than to suggest that they may have got around the limit rather than beaten the principle upon which it is based. Nevertheless, the Heisenberg inequality is a piece of scientific bedrock. If it can be bypassed, the implications are potentially huge. I await developments.
