For more than a decade, Evan Economo's lab has been using micro-CT machines to scan insect specimens. The resulting X-ray images help researchers study the form and structure of insects—a subfield of ...

A new high-tech scanning system is rapidly turning thousands of ants into stunning 3D models—building a digital library of ...

Researchers leveraged advanced technologies and artificial intelligence to hasten the process of generating 2,000 3D digital ant images. Now, a class of UMD computer science majors is working to bring ...

Using a synchrotron powered CT scanner, the Antscan project created an open-source digital library cataloguing thousands of ...

A research team funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has developed a versatile machine learning model that could one day greatly expand what medical scans can tell us about disease.

There’s an iPhone in every other pocket in the world. Can Apple put a MacBook in every other home on the planet — or at the very least, in every classroom? That seems to be the aim of the brand new ...

The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Open Access Initiative expands with three-dimensional renderings of significant pieces—most of which are free to download.

The Antscan database captures the tiny insects’ diversity and shows how the world’s living things could be rendered in three dimensions.

Scientists mapped a hidden "sea of light" from hydrogen 9–11 billion years ago, revealing how the early universe was structured.

The brain relies on real-time delivery of oxygen and nutrients through its microvasculature, which threads through neural ...

A bill aimed at cracking down on 3D-printed gun components and rapid-fire devices has passed the Colorado House and now heads to the Senate.

A University of Houston engineer has developed a method to detect possible damage in concealed cold-formed steel construction framing materials hidden behind walls, without having to tear the walls ...
