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.

Basic physics quickly gets messy in an irregular world, scientists discover in new research on the old problem of a ball ...

In the world of nuclear physics, protons often take the spotlight. But now, for the first time, the neutron has stepped into it. A recent experiment using the U.S. Department of Energy’s Jefferson Lab ...

After netting the world’s highest-paying science award, preeminent theoretical physicist Gerard ’t Hooft reflects on his ...
