Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss one of the key principles in quantum mechanics, the Pauli Exclusion Principle, and the life and ideas of Wolfgang Pauli who proposed it. Show more After 27 years, ...

Researchers have visualized for the first time the direct effect of the Pauli exclusion principle, a fundamental feature of quantum mechanics that allows ordinary matter to be stable, among other ...

We finally have a demonstration of a quantum effect that was predicted years ago, which is capable of making invisible matter. The process that the MIT researchers witnessed is called Pauli blocking.

Without the Pauli exclusion principle, matter as we know it would not exist. But at low, low temperatures, even this quantum law gives way DESPITE its name, this principle is pretty inclusive: ...

PAULI'S ‘Exclusion Principle’ applied to the simplest case of the two-electron or two-proton system (helium atom, hydrogen molecule) is usually stated as follows: if the electrons (or protons) are ...
