Scientists have developed a cost-effective, off-the-shelf system to obtain natural-color 3-D models of insects. Scientists studying insects rely on collected specimens that are often shared between ...

High-resolution fossil scans give detailed portraits of 300-million-year-old juvenile insects. Researchers have constructed three-dimensional (3D) portraits of two 300-million-year-old insect nymphs ...

Some brilliant minds in Australia have a new 3D modeling system that can model insects as small as 3 mm and bring their characteristics into a scale that scientists can study them better. These large ...

AUSTRALIA’S invasive alien insects should watch out. A 3D identification system now under development picks them out from the native crowd, making the business of exterminating them quicker and safer.

Observation is a cornerstone of science – we learn much about the universe and how it works just by looking at it. But observation can be a huge challenge. It’s easy to forget that human eyes allow us ...

Learn how a new study uses 3D printing to better understand some of insect evolution’s greatest illusions. Some creatures in the animal kingdom have developed a clever trick for staying alive: ...
