Scientists 3D Printed An Elephant Inside A Living Cell... Because They Could
Scientists just casually injected photoresist into a living cell, zapped it with lasers, and sculpted a TINY ELEPHANT inside! ๐Ÿ˜ This is peak scientist energy - spending millions in grant money to create microscopic pachyderms. The process uses two-photon polymerization (fancy light-triggered 3D printing) to solidify only specific parts of the injected goo, leaving behind an elephant smaller than a dust mite! The cell is just sitting there like "I didn't consent to becoming an elephant sanctuary!" Meanwhile, some grad student is frantically writing in their lab notebook: "Day 347: Successfully created elephant. Still no cure for cancer." Next week: giraffe inside a bacterium! Science has officially reached its "because we can" era!
