Shading brings 3D forms to life, beautifully carving out the shape of objects around us. Despite the importance of shading ...

Researchers have uncovered how primate brains transform flat, 2D visual inputs into rich, 3D mental representations of ...

The field of two-dimensional (2D) materials has seen substantial growth with emerging options such as MXenes, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), black ...

We report a structural study on the membrane binding of ovispirin using 2D IR line shape analysis, isotope labeling, and molecular dynamics simulations. Ovispirin is an antibiotic polypeptide that ...

A new edition of “The Sacred Harp,” a Christian hymnal first published in 1844, is being released this year.

In this paper, we take up the long-standing problem of how to recover 3-D shapes represented by a 2-D image, such as the image on the retina of the eye, or in a video camera. Our approach is ...

Discover how Carnegie Mellon researchers are using robot quilting to create innovative, flat-pack furniture that transforms from 2D to 3D forms.

Crows are considered to be among the smartest creatures on Earth. They have cognitive abilities at the levels of five- to ...

C AD, or computer-aided design, has transformed design in many fields, allowing simulation and numerical data modeling in industries such as architecture, engineering, construction, product design and ...

These models are based on Gemini 2.0 and aim to enable robots to perform a broader range of real-world tasks. The company’s ultimate goal is “to develop AI that could work for any robot, no matter its ...

For example, the surface of a giant doughnut is another 2D space. Through a field called geometric topology, mathematicians like me study all possible spaces in all dimensions.
