Neutrinos are known for funny business. Now scientists have set a new limit on a quantum trait responsible for the subatomic particles\u2019 quirkiness: uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lightweight particles morph from one variety of neutrino to another as they travel, a strange phenomenon called\u00a0neutrino oscillation<\/a>\u00a0(SN: 10\/6\/15<\/em>). That ability rests on quantum uncertainty, a sort of fuzziness intrinsic to the properties of quantum objects, such as their location or momentum. But despite the importance of quantum uncertainty, the uncertainty in the neutrino\u2019s position has never been directly measured.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
