What do you get when you mix silicone, bovine cells and silver in a 3D printer? A bionic ear that can pick up radio signals and turn them into sound | Mail Online: "The scientists have devised a way to produce an ear-shaped chunk of silicone mixed with bovine cells and infused with tiny particles of silver that form a coiled antenna. Like any antenna, this one can pick up radio signals that the ear will interpret as sound.
The 3-D ear is not designed to replace a human one, though the research is meant to explore a new method of combining electronics with biological material."
