Scientists Use Stem Cells to Create 'Synthetic' Embryos with Brains and Beating Hearts
“Synthetic” model embryos with brains and beating hearts have been developed at the University of Cambridge using stem cells from mice instead of eggs or sperm.
“This has been the dream of our community for years, and a major focus of our work for a decade and finally we’ve done it,” team leader Professor Magdalena Zernicka-Goetz said in a press release.
Although the research was done in mouse models, the researchers are developing human models in order to observe previously inaccessible processes inside human embryos.

A powerful microscope suitable for any modern smartphone.
iMicro is a thin layer of lenses smaller than a fingertip. Like most third-party smartphone zoom lenses, you can attach the iMicro to your smartphone lens and look at the world of micrometers with greater precision.
Designed with relatively low magnification, it boasts a much larger field of view - about 5mm, allowing you to observe micro-objects such as electronic parts, tiny insects and more. In addition, the iMicro C has a long working distance of about 4 mm and a much greater depth of field.
