Two-dimensional (2D) shapes are completely flat. They cannot be picked up. A polygon is a 2D shape with straight sides that meet at vertices. Polygons have names that show the number of sides they ...

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.

3D printing of complex objects typically takes a long time due to the printing process necessarily laying down a large number of 2D layers to build up the object. The process usually wastes a lot of ...

Researchers at NC State develop a magnetic Chinese lantern that snaps into multiple shapes. This shape-shifting device, ...
