Your run of the mill sperm just doesn’t cut it anymore, now that German researchers from the Institute for Integrative Nanosciences at IFW Dresden have begun 3D printing “spermbots”. In the increasingly popular nanotech trend of using 3D printing to create tiny medical devices, the German research team has created micromotors to give poorly swimming sperm the chance to get to the egg for fertilization.
With about one-third of fertility issues tied to the male partner, low motility of sperm can be a crucial factor.…
