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 ...

As an additive manufacturing method, 3D printing has been characterized by the construction of objects through the horizontal deposition of material, layer by layer. This still restricts, nonetheless, ...

Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin recently received support from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to ...

Complete this interactive activity to find out more about 3D shapes and then put your knowledge to the test. Cubes have 6 flat faces which are all the same size. Everyday things that have the shape of ...

Researchers have discovered a new geometric shape that’s been hiding in plain sight. A team studying the cells that give rise to embryos and can be found lining our organs and blood vessels pinpointed ...

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 ...

Unlike previous mechanically driven displays, this one is precise enough to generate scrolling text and apparently versatile enough to hold and shake a chemistry beaker. Interactive shape displays are ...
