When I tell people that I am a modeler, they look at my clothes and general lack of fashion sense and their eyes say, "nuh-uh." When I clarify that I am a multi-scale modeler, I sometimes add, "no I ...

A model of a Lockheed Constellation built from a non-standard scales nearly 60 years old. Back then, most models were designed to fit a very specific box size. [Courtesy: Terry Moore] Scale modeling, ...

Miniatures are full of bite-sized portions of our world and lives. By transcending spatial norms, models envision and measure real-world size and performance. They help to understand the cultural and ...

GEN: Can you speak to your experiences with scale-down screening model systems? Do you have a preference? Sieck: The best screening model depends on specific needs. An ideal small-scale model should ...

Almost all computer simulations face the same trade-off: larger models can be more realistic and therefore more useful, but they also take longer to run. Engineers and scientists are therefore faced ...

Drug designers working on protein-level chemistry have long been blocked by a hard computational wall: classical ...

Everyone loves models, but not everyone loves making them. For some, models bring up memories of fingers full of dry glue, cuts from sharp pieces, wasted materials, and large doses of frustration. For ...
