Scientists in Glasgow create a 3D map of a key protein which protects against the development of cancer.

This is going to blow your mind. Are you ready? Did you know that digital 3D printing of eco-friendly houses is a reality now?

The incredible ability of our brain to create a three-dimensional (3D) representation from an object's two-dimensional projection on the retina is something that we may take for granted, but the process is not well understood and is likely to be...

When Microsoft’s Kinect -- a device that lets Xbox users control games with physical gestures -- hit the market, computer scientists immediately began hacking it.

China's state broadcaster has test-launched a 3D television channel, state media said, in a bid to draw viewers and drive consumption by encouraging people to upgrade to 3D-capable sets.

The map, produced on a tiny sliver of polymer, measures just 22 by 11 micrometers. To put that into perspective, 1000 copies of the map could fit within a single grain of salt.

This new paper demonstrates, for the first time, that our 3-D space appears naturally … from the 9-D space that string theory originally has,” says Jun Nishimura of the High Energy Accelerator Research Organization in Tsukuba, Japan. He and his colleagues will publish their findings in an upcoming issue of Physical Review Letters.

(PhysOrg.com) -- One of the banes of modern existence is surely the time spent in traffic backups. Oftentimes these backups occur as the result of accidents and the resulting investigative work that goes on before cleanup can commence.

Architectural Projection Mapping is a relatively new art form, but it may give fireworks shows a run for their money in the outdoor nighttime entertainment department.

Using 3-D effects, motion graphics and choreographed music video artists are able to transform the surfaces of buildings and objects into unique, giant canvases for their animations. The effect can be stunning.
