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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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: ...

Miniature glasses have proved that mantises use 3D vision, providing a new model to improve visual perception in robots. - Most knowledge about 3D vision has come from vertebrates, however, a ...

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 ...
