A 3D X-ray scan of a dinosaur fossil reveals new information about the extinct creature and allows people to print their own skull at home. Wits University A scientist has created the blueprint for a ...

Drexel University is starting to create 3D scans of fossils to better study the motion of giant dinosaurs through small-scale robotic models. Martin LaMonica is a senior writer covering green tech and ...

Although it may seem that we know a great deal about dinosaurs, a lot of the knowledge is actually based on assumptions rather than hard facts. Often, scientists have to resort to guesswork. Some ...

Dinosaur fossils can be a biological puzzle, but technology like CT scans and 3D printing is helping scientists make new discoveries. Kimberley Chapelle, a doctoral student at the University of the ...

A hobbyist found the first nearly complete dinosaur skeleton in New Jersey in 1858, during the era of gentlemen scientists, gas lamps and extremely ruffled skirts. A century and a half later, ...

Researchers at Drexel University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania have been hard at work on a mission to create 3D-printed dinosaur robots. It may sound crazy, but 3D printing will allow the researchers ...

In April of this year, I headed out to a marl pit in Clayton, New Jersey to watch a team of Drexel University students and their teacher, Professor Kenneth Lacovara, dig for fossils. Marl, a lime-rich ...

Alberta's Royal Tyrrell Museum has found another innovative use for 3D printing technology: bringing fragile dinosaur specimens to life to advance knowledge and create compelling exhibits. Amy ...

A team of Australian scientists are using a world-first approach combining three-dimensional (3D) printing and virtual reality (VR) to bring a dinosaur “back to life”. Palaeontologists at a site in ...

Access to rare fossils is limited, potentially putting a go-slow on their study, while sharing them around increases the risk of damaging them. Researchers at Berlin's Charité Campus Mitte have ...

You’re a high school science teacher and your class is learning about dinosaurs. You can’t exactly run to the local dino bone barn and buy some bargain bones for them to see first-hand. But what if ...
