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 ...

Bloom patterns could be useful, as engineers build folding structures to send to outer space. They’re also very pretty.

North Carolina State University researchers have developed a method for having 2D patterns made of plastic self-assemble into 3D objects using a heat lamp and printer ink.

EPFL researchers have developed a new high-precision technology that enables them to carve nanometric patterns into two-dimensional materials. The new technology allows the researchers to… ...

A 2D grayscale image of the Mona Lisa (left) is converted into a 3D pattern (right). (© 2011 Wiley-VCH) "We grow brush polymers from a 2D pattern of initiator molecules printed on a surface using a ...

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

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.

We performed a calculation to reproduce the observed 2D SAXS patterns, focusing especially on the 4-spot patterns, using a simple lamellar model that took into account the lamellar size, the ...
