Making New Ears With The Right Look and Feel

Like a fingerprint, the ear's shape is so characteristic that one can identify us by them. The outer part of our ears has a complex structure that surgeons have a hard time replacing when disease or accident robs us of an ear. ETH researchers have found a way to produce an ear replacement with the r...
