Since its discovery, graphene, a 2D layer of carbon molecules, has taken the title of the strongest material in existence. But how to turn it into a 3D material that could be used for projects like ...

Scientists have been studying how epithelial cells pack tightly together, and have discovered a new shape in the process, as published in Nature Communications. As an embryo develops, tissues bend ...

An AI method enables the generation of sharp, high-quality 3D shapes that are closer to the quality of the best 2D image models. Previous approaches typically generated blurry or cartoonish 3D shapes.

The noses of many mammals, such as dogs, ferrets and cows, feature grooves forming a multitude of polygons. A team has analyzed in detail how these patterns form in the embryo using 3D imaging ...

Through modeling and experiments, researchers uncover a previously undescribed shape -- they call a 'scutoid' -- adopted by packed epithelial cells during embryonic development; discovery could lead ...
