Penn researchers have developed a universal algorithm that allows 2D materials to retain mechanical strength after conversion into 3D structures. The team’s work takes inspiration from kirigami ...

While there are plenty of current applications for turning 3D objects into a 2D perspective, there is very little that can successfully reverse engineer that process. Put simply, if you want an ...

The quality improves but the computational cost skyrockets. That’s held back the otherwise highly desirable possibility of extrapolating 3D forms from 2D images.
