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 ...

One of those tools is 3D scanning. Using portable scanners, it is now possible to capture the full surface geometry of an object with high precision, without touching or damaging it. Every curve, ...

Today the world of Egyptology faces a silent crisis – not of looting, although that plays a part, but of disconnection. Walk into any major museum, from Copenhagen to California, and you see glass ...

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.

New 3D scans of tropical rainforests give scientists better data on forest biomass, boosting carbon tracking and satellite ...

Colorado is joining the growing list of states attempting to crack down on the manufacture of 3D printed “ghost guns,” ...

CHC Navigation (CHCNAV) announced the RS7, a new handheld SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) scanning solution, unveiled at the 2026 CHCNAV Connect Partner Conference. Built for BIM ...

On a computer screen in a lab, a scattered cluster of stone flakes suddenly snaps together into a single, razor-edged tool, each fragment rotating and locking into place as if time is running in ...
