ROBOT SPERM

• Scientists have made the world’s first robotic sperm.
• They Create Mechanical Swimmers Controlled By Magnetic Fields.
• The tiny cyborg swimmers are controlled using magnetic fields, and could have a range of interesting uses if the tech is perfected.

• The hope is that using the robots – which are just 50 microns long, and 5-8 microns in diameter – scientists might be able to fertilise eggs with individual sperm cells – or send drugs to targeted areas, by remote control.
