Turn photos into 3D with Meta's SAM 3D, using SAM 2 masks and Gaussian splatting, so you can build assets quickly for ...

Scientists from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay have found a way to use light to control and read tiny quantum states inside atom-thin materials. The simple technique could pave the way for ...

Twist a stack of atom-thin carbon sheets by just the right amount and the material stops behaving like ordinary metal or insulator. Instead, it starts acting like a peculiar kind of superconductor ...

A stereogram optical illusion is a fascinating visual puzzle that hides a 3D image within a 2D pattern. At first glance, it appears to be a random collection of repeating designs or colourful dots.
