Exquisitely detailed map of a tiny piece of the human brain

Although the map covers just a fraction of the organ—a whole brain is a million times larger—that piece contains roughly 57,000 cells, about 230 millimeters of blood vessels, and nearly 150 million synapses. 

Biggest-Ever 3D Map of the Universe

Hundreds of scientists from about 30 institutions worldwide have published the largest-ever 3D map of the Universe, the result of an analysis of more than 4 million galaxies and ultra-bright, energy-packed quasars. 

Scientists Use Drones to Create World First 3D Map of Volcano

Using high-precision cameras mounted to an aerial drone researchers from Scotland captured the volcano in hundreds of aerial photographs to later create a 3D map of the volcano’s surface.

A New 3D Map of the Early Universe Reveals 4,000 Infant Galaxies

Astronomers from Lancaster University have modeled conditions during the earliest moments of the cosmos.

Laser-equipped aircraft to map England in 3D

Aircraft equipped with futuristic laser scanners are to map the entirety of England in 3D to help combat flooding, cut down on fly-tipping and uncover long-lost roads.

3D map to reveal Milky Way in unprecedented detail

The European Space Agency is set to unveil a three-dimensional map of a billion stars in our galaxy that is 1,000 times more complete than anything existing today.

Calculating what's in the universe from the biggest color 3-D map

Astronomers have used visual data from nearly a million luminous galaxies for the most accurate calculation yet of how matter clumps together in the universe. By deriving cosmic rulers from an immense volume of sky, from a time when the universe was half its present age until now, the study establishes how much dark matter, dark energy, and even hard-to-detect neutrinos it contains.

Scientists create first 3-D map of human genome

(PhysOrg.com) -- For the first time, scientists have developed a method for generating accurate three-dimensional models of the entire DNA strand of a cell, known as a genome.

Biggest 3-D map of the distant universe

The biggest 3-D map of the distant universe ever made, using light from 14,000 quasars --- supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies many billions
