What lies at the heart of a black hole has puzzled physicists for decades. Now, a team led by physicist Enrico Rinaldi has ...

Physicists call this holographic duality because it is similar to the way that a third dimension appears in two dimensional holograms. The idea that we live in an emergent space-time has captured ...

A better analogy is to consider the surface of an inflating balloon where the surface is a two-dimensional equivalent of our three-dimensional universe. The balloon fabric is space; dots marked on ...

No matter what the sphere says or does, the square cannot comprehend a space other than the two-dimensional world that he knows. Only after the sphere pulls the square out of his two-dimensional ...

Past research has focused on how these cartographic cells encode two-dimensional space. Jeffery and her col­leagues decided to look at how they respond to changes in altitude. To do this ...

and the center is in that three-dimensional space. But if all there is the two-dimensional space, it doesn't have a center.” This is all to say, the universe doesn't have a center. Our physics ...

The hexagonal structure of their honeycomb seemed like the optimal way to partition two-dimensional space into cells of equal area and minimal perimeter — allowing the insects to cut down on how much ...

In a groundbreaking experiment, researchers from Tsinghua University have proven that two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor materials can withstand the harsh conditions of space. The team ...

In its most basic form, soft cells take the form of geometric building blocks with rounded corners capable of interlocking at cusp-like corners to fill a two- or three-dimensional space.
