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 ...

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 have discovered that the junctures at the facet edges of 3D semiconductor particles have 2D properties, which can be leveraged for photoelectrochemical processes -- in which light is used ...

Physicists have developed a novel approach to maintain special quantum characteristics, even in 3D materials, with potential applications in optical systems and advanced computing. There is a big ...
