The human ear is something we often take for granted. Some have big ears, some have small ears. Some show off their ears, some hide their ears. some have no ears. But that would change with the advancement in printing technology.
We were amazed when we could print instead of just write. Then colour printers came along. So we were awed by the depth of colours that can be replicated on the colour laser. Some even went as far as trying to print counterfeit notes. Then came 3D printing. We could print just about anything we can imagine. A chair, a table, a computer part, a gear. But the trophy today goes to the team at Cornell University who came up with the idea of printing ears and they did it.
Congratulations to the Cornell University team on their innovation to help people get their ears printed. Not just on plastic but with real cells.
