By comparing pictures and computer models of areas neighboring fault lines – taken both before and after a major earthquake occurs – scientists can now gain a deeper understanding of how these sectors of Earth's crust move and interact during seismic events.
Such investigations could come in very h... |

Sascha Mehlhase, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Copenhagen Niels Bohr Institute, showcases an impressive creation, made entirely out of LEGO. The structure is a 1:50 model of the ATLAS ((A Toroidal LHC ApparatuS) particle detector on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).
The amazingly detailed model show... |

Ever since we were little kids we would build small houses from Lego or other plastic bricks and imagine ourselves getting inside. Our imagination was enough for that age, but as we grow older we realized there are other options to be had, Sweet Home 3D being one of them, and a free one at that.Sweet Home 3D is one o... |

Supernova events are some of the most energetic and powerful things that can go on in the Universe. When massive stars that reach the end of their burning cycle explode, they produce such fierce radiation emission and effects, that they briefly outshine entire galaxies. The death of such stars is called a supernova, ... |

British researchers from the Imperial College London (ICL) have recently developed the first three-dimensional representation of one of the earliest ancestors of the modern cockroach. The 3D “visual fossil model” features an exquisite level of detail, and is published in the April 13 issue of the esteemed... |

One of the most important things to do when discovering a new species of animals or of ancient hominids, in the fossil record is to depict it as accurately as possible. For many years, paleoartists, which specialize in creating drawings or sculptures of creatures that lived millions of years ago, have accompanied arc... |

Computer tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans have become so popular with doctors and patients since their creation, that massive volumes of data on virtually anything in the human body have been obtained. Scientists at the Iowa State University (ISU) have recently decided that the information i... |
