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 ...

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 ...

The principle suggests that, like the security chip on your credit card, there is a two-dimensional surface that contains all the information needed to describe a three-dimensional object - which ...
