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 ...

A new, simple scanning system can create precise 3D models of insects in color. The system uses off-the-shelf equipment, including a camera and a computer, to obtain detailed, true-color 3D images of ...

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 ...

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 ...

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: ...

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.

You know those scientific displays of labelled insects stuck on pins? Well, they decay over time, and sometimes even get eaten by an insect known as the museum beetle. That's why German scientists ...

(Nanowerk News) When it comes to choosing a partner, humans tend to be attracted by characteristics like personality and common interests. In contrast, insects tend to be a bit shallow, as they choose ...
