Earwax, medically known as cerumen, is a substance naturally produced by glands in the ear canal. It serves critical functions: Trapping dust, dirt, bacteria, bugs (really!) and other foreign ...

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.

The human ear has a complex, previously unidentified set of "modes," which Yale physicists have found. These modes place significant limitations on how the ear can detect a remarkable range of ...

Research links human outer ears to cartilage in fish gills. Gene-editing experiments confirm evolutionary connection. Findings date back to marine invertebrates 400 million years ago.

The SE01 humanoid robot, which previously made headlines for achieving one of the most human-like gaits, has again captured global attention. Chinese robotics firm EngineAI has posted a new video ...

To explore this link, scientists used gene enhancers — DNA sequences that control tissue development. Remarkably, when human ear enhancers were introduced into zebrafish, they activated specifically ...

We are born with all the inner-ear cilia—microscopic hair cells that move in response to sound waves—we'll ever have. These cilia convert sound waves into electrical signals that travel along the ...
