The neuromuscular junction—where nerves and muscle fibers meet—is an essential synapse for muscle contraction and movement. Improper function of these junctions can lead to the development of ...

University of Missouri researchers are developing new ways to better simulate the complex nature of human brain tissue. For ...

Wearing blue rubber gloves, Molly Dobrow reached into a metal vat of diluted sodium hydroxide and pulled out two dripping-wet models of human organs: a heart and a set of lungs. Made of Elastico, a ...

The CRAFT method uses widely available materials and inexpensive commercial 3D printers. Using an affordable 3D printer and the CRAFT method, researchers created a model human hand from a single ...

Researchers at the New York Institute of Technology and the University of California, Irvine (UC Irvine) have developed what’s described as a highly realistic artificial human colon, a scientific ...

Researchers have made a significant breakthrough in how surgeons and physicians can practice for heart surgeries and study other conditions by achieving the first full-size 3D-printed biomodel of the ...

In brief: A new software tool developed by Epic Games and based on its Unreal Engine promises to make it easier to create realistic 3D human models for games and movies using a web browser and the ...

Freelance writer Amanda C. Kooser covers gadgets and tech news with a twist for CNET. When not wallowing in weird gear and iPad apps for cats, she can be found tinkering with her 1956 DeSoto. It looks ...

An AI method enables the generation of sharp, high-quality 3D shapes that are closer to the quality of the best 2D image models. Previous approaches typically generated blurry or cartoonish 3D shapes.

For years, scientists have worked to uncover how the brain responds to mechanical forces and electromagnetic waves. Computer ...
