Learn how to spot 2D and 3D shapes in the world around you with this lesson for children aged 5 to 7 from BBC Bitesize - The Regenerators.

In 2D, these soft cells have curved boundaries with only two corners. Such tiling patterns are found, among others, in muscle ...

I've always been fascinated by how materials break down, especially glasses and polymers that don't have a regular crystal structure. Unlike crystals, where we understand plasticity through things ...

But 3D shapes with curves can fill space, too—although the ready examples are only slightly bent and have obvious corners. Tellingly, the known examples all emerged from questions about nature ...

For 50 years, scientists believed that schools of fish would save the most energy by swimming in flat diamond formations.

Maximum Intensity Projection is a common tool to represent 3D biological imaging data in a 2D space, but it creates artefacts. Here the authors develop Smooth Manifold Extraction, an ImageJ/Fiji ...

This so-called Large Photogrammetry Model is able to reconstruct 3D objects and scenes from just a few 2D photos, but with a big difference from current pipelines. Here’s why this is a big deal ...

NVIDIA has introduced a new AI model called Neuralangelo that can create 3D replicas of objects from 2D videos, whether they're classic sculptures or run-of-the-mill trucks and buildings.
