Scientists have crossed a startling new frontier in bioengineering: they can now fabricate intricate three-dimensional ...

Natural physical networks are continuous, three-dimensional objects, like the small mathematical model displayed here.

Scheme illustration of object identification and all-optical 3D reconstruction system. (a) A contour surface image of the object can be obtained in a single processing of the system. (b) High-contrast ...

Physicists have engineered photons that behave as if they inhabit a space far richer than the familiar three dimensions, ...

The basic lantern object is made by cutting a polymer sheet into a diamond-like parallelogram shape, then cutting a row of parallel lines across the center of each sheet. This creates a row of ...

Can you imagine the imprint a four-dimensional hexagon might leave as it passes through your three-dimensional kitchen table? Probably not, but some people can. One such person was mathematician ...

The central objects of study in topology are spaces called manifolds, which look flat when you zoom in on them. The surface of a sphere, for instance, is a two-dimensional manifold. Topologists ...
