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

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 ...

Stability AI, the startup behind the text-to-image AI model Stable Diffusion, thinks 3D model creation tools could be the next big thing in generative AI. At least, that’s the message it’s sending ...

Ever had an idea for something that looked cool, but wouldn't work well in practice? When it comes to designing things like decor and personal accessories, generative artificial intelligence (genAI) ...

Science is a subject built on doing. Students learn chemistry through titrations, biology through dissections, physics through motion experiments, and earth science through field observations. That ...

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 ...

Imagine being able to create a detailed 3D sculpture of someone using nothing more than a single photo. Sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie, right? But thanks to advancements in generative AI, ...

Researchers leveraged advanced technologies and artificial intelligence to hasten the process of generating 2,000 3D digital ant images. Now, a class of UMD computer science majors is working to bring ...
