Laser-mapping crime scenes officially a thing (Wired UK)

Police in Queensland, Australia are starting to use environment-scanning equipment designed for caving and mine-mapping to create 3D diagrams of crime scenes.

The Zebedee handheld mapping scanner was developed by CSIRO, Australia’s national science research agency and has previously been used to map the interior of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, as well as other culturally significant locations and mining sites. Now, for the first time, officers will be able to walk through a crime scene with a scanner and capture data, which they’ll be able to use to generate a 3D map in about 20 minutes.

GEELONG scientists are getting closer to creating the world’s first disease-proof animals.

The ground-breaking CSIRO Australian Animal Health Laboratory (AAHL) project is producing genetically modified chickens, using cutting-edge science from the plant world.

It is hoped the CSIRO super-chickens will breed disease-resistant offspring, creating a line of poultry which is immune to the deadly bird flu.
