Energy is a concept that’s central to physics, but because it’s a word we use every day its meaning has got a bit woolly. I mean, it’s easy to say what it is in a sense. Obviously this river ...

No matter what you do, matter can neither be created nor destroyed. This property of the universe is called the law of ...

The questions in this quiz are suitable for GCSE physics students studying types of energy store, energy transfers, energy dissipation, the conservation of energy and calculation of energy changes.

There are roof shapes and ratios that maximize heat retainment and energy efficiency and, interestingly, ancient Italian architects and builders seemed to know it, too.

I will illustrate this with three examples from the history of physics: 1) Mendel’s experiments on plant hybridization, 2) the experiment that demonstrated parity non-conservation ... Wooster that ...

In most ecosystems, sunlight is absorbed and converted into usable forms of energy via photosynthesis ... Among the best known examples are the remarkable ecosystems that flourish at deep-sea ...

Symmetry in time – that is, physics remaining the same when translated forwards or backwards in time – amounts to the conservation of energy. So, as ideas in physics go, they don’t come any ...

While serving as a visiting professor in Benevento, outside of Naples, Italy, Adrian Bejan noticed something about the local architecture: All the ...

This publication provides state of the art knowledge on radiation technology applied to the conservation and consolidation of items of cultural heritage and will be of use to collection curators, ...

"While energy conservation is a popular buzzword today ... chaotically like smoke waving wildly in the wind. Based on the physics of these airflows and heat transfer, if a roof peak is shorter ...
