Robot speed up the sperm's swimming, reducing the rate of infertility

By controlling the magnetic field, scientists can help sperm meet eggs faster, which improves fertilization.

Engineers at the Dresden-based Institute of Nanoscale Science have developed a special robot designed to transport male reproductive cells to female reproductive cells. Some information has been revealed by the group in an article published in the magazine Nano Letters.

These robots are powered by tiny helical motors made of nickel and titanium. They clutched the tail of the sperm and began to spin as soon as the magnetic field affected the tadpole's swimming speed. Can imagine this is like nitro boost in the film Fast & Furious nano version for sperm.


Equipped with sperm motors.

By controlling the magnetic field, scientists can help sperm meet eggs faster, which improves fertilization. After completing the transport task, the robot will automatically detach.

The transporter has performed well all the tasks they set for it in the lab.

The development team said that the delivery robot performed well all the tasks they set for it in the lab. Coming soon, they will begin clinical trials on animals. If successful, this micro robot would be used for artificial insemination in humans.

This method will help improve fertility in cases of infertility or infertility due to the lack of flexibility of the male reproductive cells.
