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 ...

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 ...

It might soon be relatively trivial to make soft robots — at least, if you have a 3D printer handy. UC San Diego researchers have devised a way to 3D-print insect-like flexible robots cheaply, quickly ...

Giving whole new meaning to the term "bug eyed," researchers glue tiny glasses to the weird insect that sees and hunts in 3D in hopes of understanding 3D vision better. Eric Mack has been a CNET ...

Some creatures in the animal kingdom have developed a clever trick for staying alive: pretending to be something far scarier than they really are. A new Nature study has revealed how this evolutionary ...

NEWCASTLE, England, Jan. 8 (UPI) --To test insect depth perception, researchers at Newcastle University outfitted praying mantises with tiny 3D glasses. The shades confirmed praying mantises' ability ...
