Domokos wanted to see if Regős could use the geometry that he had originally developed to describe geological fractures to characterize the patterns in Decurtins’ images. To get started, Regős treated ...

Here the authors have fabricated quasi 3D structures by the thermal deformation of simple two-dimensional laser-induced patterns.

Researchers from North Carolina State University have developed a new technique for transforming two-dimensional print output into 3-D structures, using nothing but light.

Neurons come in an astounding assortment of shapes and sizes, forming a thick inter-connected jungle of cells. Now, neuroscientists have found that there is a simple pattern that describes the ...

North Carolina State University researchers have developed a method for having 2D patterns made of plastic self-assemble into 3D objects using a heat lamp and printer ink.

A 2D grayscale image of the Mona Lisa (left) is converted into a 3D pattern (right). (© 2011 Wiley-VCH) "We grow brush polymers from a 2D pattern of initiator molecules printed on a surface using a ...

Discover how to create repeated patterns using 2D shapes in this fun BBC Bitesize reception guide.

EPFL researchers have developed a new high-precision technology that enables them to carve nanometric patterns into two-dimensional materials. The new technology allows the researchers to… ...
