To figure out how they slither through substances that should, in theory, resist their movement, a team led by Kenta Ishimoto ...

Patterns of chemical interactions are thought to create patterns in nature such as stripes and spots. This new study shows that the mathematical basis of these patterns also governs how sperm tail ...

Researchers have uncovered the secret of human sperm propulsion through dense fluids, revealing an unconventional motion that appears to defy Newton's third law. In their study, the team analyzed both ...

Video of a new mathematical model that predicts that mammalian sperm cells have two distinct swimming modes. This prediction opens new questions about potential connections between sperm cells’ motor ...
