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 ...

Digital insects A new colour 3D modelling system developed in Australia is digitising even the tiniest insects to help researchers study them better. The models could also have applications in ...

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.

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 ...

Ants are very tiny, so conventional 3D scanners aren’t really going to do a very good job of capturing the insect geometry.

The serious bug collector will tell you that no entomological compendium is ever truly complete. Even the most vivid color-wheels of butterflies are missing something—often many somethings—either ...

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 ...

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: ...
