Domokos wanted to see if Regős could use the geometry that he had originally developed to describe geological fractures to characterize the patterns in Decurtins’ images. To get started, Regős treated ...

North Carolina State University researchers have developed a method for having 2D patterns made of plastic self-assemble into 3D objects using a heat lamp and printer ink.

This method has the additional advantage of unlimited complexity in 2D patterns that would, in principal, only be restricted by the light diffraction limits.

Most of the speed bumps in that library involve alphablending and transformations, which a simple sprite game won't need.<BR><BR>If he <i>does</i> want to use OpenGL, these guys have put together ...

2D-XRD, or two-dimensional X-ray diffraction, is a powerful analytical technique used to study the atomic and molecular structure of crystalline materials at the nanoscale. It provides detailed ...

The main takeaway from the game is not about life being possible in a 2D universe (although some physicists think that it is) but that complex patterns and behavior can emerge from very simple rules.
