Scientists have boosted the motility of sluggish sperm by up to 266%, by blasting the cells with noninvasive, 40-MHz ultrasound waves to induce movement. Capturing the technique's impact on individual ...

Human sperm have long been a subject of fascination—not just for their role in fertilization, but for their remarkable ability to navigate through some of the most viscous environments in the body.
