Suit Up For You Sperm, “Spermbot“ Are Bionic Suit That Solve Male Infertility

One of the main causes of infertility is low sperm motility. Sperm that are healthy, but can’t swim. Now a team of scientists has developed a possible solution: the Spermbot. Oliver Schmidt, Ph.D. and his team at the IFW in Dresden, Germany built a tiny metal helix controlled by a rotating magnetic field. The Spermbot can wrap around a sperm and drive it into an egg, leading to possible fertilization. The research appears in the ACS journal Nano Letters. Original article:
