As the world faces environmental challenges and seeks new opportunities, the idea of underwater living is gaining serious momentum. While lunar and Martian colonies make headlines, scientists and ...

Using state-of-the-art tissue engineering techniques and a 3D printer, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and Cornell Engineering have assembled a replica of an adult human ear that looks and feels ...

Even though you don't think about them much as you go about your day, your ears play a major role in enabling you to function. Aside from hearing, they are also crucial for maintaining the body's ...

Anthropometry of the human ear encompasses the systematic measurement and analysis of its dimensions and morphology. This field provides vital normative data for applications in clinical ...

Wiggling your ears might be more of a pub party piece than a survival skill, but humans still try to prick up their ears when listening hard, researchers have found. Ear movement is crucial in many ...

“We see in our specialty patients who have ear deformities, called microtia, which can be reconstructed, but it's a technically challenging operation that I think very few people in the world do well, ...

A mechanism that activates specific muscles in our ears is a leftover from our evolutionary past, back when our ancestors depended more on their hearing for survival. When you purchase through links ...

Using state-of-the-art tissue engineering techniques and a 3D printer, researchers have assembled a replica of an adult human ear that looks and feels natural. The study offers the promise of grafts ...
