Are you fond of drawing some random doodles? Have you ever imagined some magic tricks that would transform your boring 2D picture into a realistic 3D model? Well then, turning a 2D shape into a 3D ...

An AI method enables the generation of sharp, high-quality 3D shapes that are closer to the quality of the best 2D image models. Previous approaches typically generated blurry or cartoonish 3D shapes.

Researchers have developed a technique that programs 2D materials to transform into complex 3D shapes. University of Texas at Arlington researchers have developed a technique that programs 2D ...

A little bit of sleuthing through the layers of tabs, ribbons, menus and buttons on the Microsoft Word workspace reveals that you can do quite a bit more than just typing flat characters on a document ...

It may seem distinctly low-tech compared to some of the many technology trends I write about, but 3D and 4D printing will have very wide applications – and could be particularly powerful when combined ...

When you want to visually imply growth, steps, directions, output or even a process, you might choose an arrow shape. Arrows are one of the most commonly used shapes in PowerPoint, and fortunately ...

For similar 2D and 3D shapes, there is a relationship between the length scale factor and the area, surface area or volume of the enlarged shapes. Areas increase by a factor equivalent to the length ...

Tiling a space with a repeated pattern that has no gaps or overlaps (a structure known as a tessellation) is what led mathematician [Gábor Domokos] to ponder a question: how few corners can a shape ...
