Your smartphone as a 3D scanner: Scientists present new software

3D scanning aims to capture the geometry of the 3D world. However, most existing solutions require a complicated setup, are often hard to use and might not always work outdoors. Marc Pollefeys, professor at the Institute ...

Quantifying protein-folding mechanisms

European scientists are investigating the mechanisms by which proteins fold to form complex configurations using single-molecule experimental techniques.

Ancient mollusc missing link revealed in 3-D

Scientists have discovered a rare fossil called Kulindroplax, the missing link between two mollusc groups, which is revealed in a 3D computer model, in research published today in the journal Nature.

Physics research suggests new pathways for cancer progression

Observing that certain cancer cells may exhibit greater flexibility than normal cells, some scientists believe that this capability promotes rapid tumor growth. Now computer simulations developed by Boston University Biomedical ...
