Also referred to as the 'uncertainty' principle, it is a principle in quantum mechanics holding that increasing the accuracy of measurement of one observable quantity increases the uncertainty with which another conjugate quantity may be known.

How properites change bet nano to micro?

Heisenburg's Uncertainty Principle.. go read it. Essentially at the nanoscale quantum mechanics play a much larger role in interactions then at the microscale. The best example of this is in nanoscale transistors where electrons will tunnel from one side of an insulator to the other spontaneously as it's probability cloud crosses this boundery.


States that is imposible to know both the velocity and the position of a particle at the same time?

The heisenberg uncertainty principle is what you are thinking of. However, the relation you asked about does not exist. Most formalisms claim it as (uncertainty of position)(uncertainty of momentum) >= hbar/2. There is a somewhat more obscure and less useful relation (uncertainty of time)(uncertainty of energy) >= hbar/2. But in this relation the term of uncertainty of time is not so straightforward (but it does have an interesting meaning).


Why do atoms don't stop?

According to classical physics atoms would only stop moving at 0K, absolute zero. But this temperature is impossible to reach. According to quantum physics Heisenburg's uncertainty principle says that the momentum and position of a particle cannot both be known exactly. But if atoms stopped moving both would be knowable exactly, so it is impossible for atoms to stop moving.
