Researchers have developed a high-tech system that rapidly scans ants and converts them into detailed 3D models. Using a synchrotron accelerator, X-ray imaging, robotics, and AI, the team scanned ...

A new high-tech scanning system is rapidly turning thousands of ants into stunning 3D models—building a digital library of ...

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

Researchers leveraged advanced technologies and artificial intelligence to hasten the process of generating 2,000 3D digital ...

A giant database of over 2000 ant species in 3D, generated from micro-CT scans at micrometer resolution, democratizes access to extremely detailed morphology for researchers, artists, and educators.

An AI method enables the generation of sharp, high-quality 3D shapes that are closer to the quality of the best 2D image models. Previous approaches typically generated blurry or cartoonish 3D shapes.

Researchers at MIT have developed a system that integrates genAI with physics simulations, to enable users to generate robust ...

Copilot 3D will turn your 2D images into 3D models. The tool is freely available to anyone, though you do need a Microsoft account. Microsoft suggests using an image with a single subject, even ...

On a bright, sunny day, a group of first-graders eagerly begins a science investigation called “Shadow Town.” The teacher gathers them in a circle and asks, “What causes shadows?” It’s a good question ...

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 ...
