Two examples: graphene -- single-atom-thick sheets of carbon atoms -- has unique mechanical, electrical, and optical properties; ... Truly two-dimensional objects are rare.

Truly two-dimensional objects are rare. Even a thin piece of paper is trillions of atoms thick. When physicists do succeed in producing 2D systems, quantum interactions can lead to new phenomena ...

From four-dimensional hexagons to the mind-bending amplituhedron, geometrical shapes are wilder than we learn at school - and ...

When you throw something into a black hole, its information seems to disappear. This may be a hint that black holes, as well as our entire universe, is 2-dimensional.

As object identification and three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction techniques become essential in various reverse engineering, artificial intelligence, medical diagnosis, and industrial production ...

Researchers from North Carolina State University have developed a simple way to convert two-dimensional patterns into three-dimensional (3-D) objects using only light.

Facebook researchers say they augmented the open source Mask R-CNN’s two-dimensional object segmentation system with a mesh prediction branch, which they further bolstered with a library ...

Scientists at the University of Texas in Austin have successfully "cloaked" a three-dimensional object in free space for the first time. Unfortunately they were only able to do so for waves in the ...
