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 ...

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

It works by fooling our eyes and brains into seeing a three-dimensional scene within a two-dimensional image. Initially, you see a load of 2D patterns repeatedly.

An international team of surface scientists has now developed a simple method to produce large and very clean 2D samples from a range of materials using three different substrates.

This method has the additional advantage of unlimited complexity in 2D patterns that would, in principal, only be restricted by the light diffraction limits.

This brain teaser is an autostereogram, which describes “two-dimensional (2D) images with repeating patterns that hide an underlying three-dimensional (3D) image.” ...

2D-XRD, or two-dimensional X-ray diffraction, is a powerful analytical technique used to study the atomic and molecular structure of crystalline materials at the nanoscale. It provides detailed ...

The researchers detail the evolution from simple columnar phases to complex 2D tiling morphologies in materials like block copolymers, liquid crystals, and giant molecules. By combining directed ...
