Mathematicians are “reinventing the wheel” by giving it a new shape. Their newly imagined wheel looks like a many-dimensional guitar pick, and it could theoretically roll in ways beyond our ...

Nearly 60 years ago computer scientist Ruth Weiss of Bell Labs published a pioneering algorithm to turn three-dimensional objects into two-dimensional drawings from any angle. But she ran into a ...

Mathematicians, freed in their imaginations from physical constraints, can conjure up descriptions of objects in many more dimensions than that. Points in a plane can be described with pairs of ...

Neuroscientists have discovered patterns of brain activity that may underlie our remarkable ability to see and understand the three-dimensional structure of objects. A team of Johns Hopkins University ...

Previous investigations of the neural code for complex object shape have focused on two-dimensional pattern representation. This may be the primary mode for object vision given its simplicity and ...

3D models are 3-dimensional objects, but did you know that you could insert a 3D animated model in your Excel worksheet? Microsoft Excel contains a built-in feature that enables users to insert ...
