Can Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle be applied in real life?
That's interesting! Can you explain how it works?
The microscope has a sharp metal tip that is positioned near the surface of a sample, and a voltage is applied to the tip to create a tunneling current. The tip moves up and down to maintain a constant current, and by measuring the tip's position, you can calculate the position of the atom.
