Robo sperm could boost fertility studies

Picture MUST credit:University of Twente/npj Robotics (2025)
A team of researchers has transformed real sperm cells into tiny, magnetically controlled micro-robots to help improve fertility.
This development could open new doors in reproductive medicine, drug delivery, and infertility diagnostics.
The bots can be tracked in real time using X-ray imaging.
Sperm cells are naturally fast, flexible swimmers that can navigate the complex environment of the female reproductive tract making them promising candidates for use in medical micro-robotics.
Sperm cells are nearly impossible to see inside the human body using traditional imaging methods like X-ray.
They’re small, low-density, and nearly transparent to radiation.
Researchers and medical professionals from University of Twente and Radboud University Medical Center both in the Netherlands and Canada’s University of Waterloo coated real sperm cells with magnetic nanoparticles.
This made them visible under X-ray and responsive to external magnetic fields. For the first time, these sperm-based micro-robots can now be tracked and steered inside a life-sized anatomical model.
Once inside, they can potentially deliver drugs to hard-to-reach places such as the uterus or fallopian tubes.

Skeletal Remains Found In Garbage Bag Near The Jackie Robinson Parkway
The OCME Anthropology team is at the scene. The New York City Police Department investigates the discovery of remains within the confines of the 104 precinct in Queens, New York, United States, on August 6, 2025. On Wednesday morning at approximately 10:30 AM, a Department of Transportation worker finds remains that are skeletal in nature in a black garbage bag. The discovery is made along the Jackie Robinson Parkway, near Exit 1. Members of the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner remove the remains as the Crime Scene Unit and Anthropology team investigate. At this time, there are no arrests. The medical examiner will determine the cause of death, and the remains will be studied to determine if they are human in nature. (Photo by Kyle Mazza/NurPhoto) -

Scientists are hoping they could one day repair damaged human eyes — by studying a snail which is already able to do it.
The eye of the apple snail is unusually similar to a human eye but can regrow itself if injured or even amputated.
A study into how this happens has the potential to better understand and find treatments for eye conditions in humans like macular degeneration.
A team from US biomedical research organisation the Stowers Institute for Medical Research discovered the apple snail has complex camera-type eyes like humans.
The researchers have developed tools to alter its genome, resulting in snails with stable gene variations to help better understand the process of regeneration.
The process of apple snail eye regeneration from amputation to full restoration happens n four stages over 28 days.
It begins with wound healing and ends with the emergence of a lens and retina.
Apple snails have eyes that are anatomically similar to those in humans with a lens, cornea, and retina.
The researchers found that a gene called pax6—known to play a crucial role in vertebrate and fruit fly eye development—is also present in apple snails.
In the lab, the team disrupted the pax6 gene function creating healthy snails but with missing eyes.
The snails began to generate eyes. For each stage of the regeneration, the team collected and analysed gene activity.
This information is being used to narrow down which genes are likely most promising for eye regeneration.

Oldest Neanderthal fingerpint found

Picture MUST credit: Álvarez-Alonso et al. 2025
Archaeologists say they have found the oldest Neanderthal fingerprint.
It was impressed on a painted boulder, dating back to 43,000 years and done to add a nose on what to the ancient humanoid race was perceived as a face on the rock.
The rock , a piece of granite, is decorated with a red ochre pigment spot, which is the oldest known symbolic object containing the most complete Neanderthal fingerprint.
It was discovered in Spain In July 2022 during excavation of prehistoric rock shelter believed used by Neanderthals, at an archaeological site at Mousterian, San Lázaro, in central Spain.
Researchers used multispectral techniques and forensics to identify that the mark on it came from a human.
They obtained high-resolution, detailed images of the surface, from three micro-samples taking extra care to minimise damage.
Researchers think the rock was collected from a riverbed and transported to the interior of the rock shelter.
Ochre was applied specifically with the tip of a finger soaked in pigment.
The team, from the University of Madrid, the Geological and Mining Institute of Spain and the Spanish National Research Council, thinks the rock was a visual symbol, resembling a human face with eyes, a mouth, and a nose.

The reason rose petals curl and give the bloom its beautiful looks has been uncovered by scientists.
They say its all down the petals geometry and could have applications in the real world.
A team at Israel’s Hebrew University of Jerusalem discovered that as the petal grows, stress builds at the edges, shaping the curves recognised around the world.
The discovery uncovered the geometric origin of the shape of rose petals.
It also helps understand how complex forms emerge in nature and how to harness the same principles to design advanced materials that shape themselves with similar elegance and precision.
The study reveals that the signature cusp-like edges of rose petals are the result of a unique kind of geometric principle not previously recognised by scientists.

The discovery uncovered the geometric origin of the shape of rose petals.
It also helps understand how complex forms emerge in nature and how to harness the same principles to design advanced materials that shape themselves with similar elegance and precision.
The study reveals that the signature cusp-like edges of rose petals are the result of a unique kind of geometric principle not previously recognised by scientists.

The reason rose petals curl and give the bloom its beautiful looks has been uncovered by scientists.
They say its all down the petals geometry and could have applications in the real world.
A team at Israel’s Hebrew University of Jerusalem discovered that as the petal grows, stress builds at the edges, shaping the curves recognised around the world.

Do fingers in water always wrinkle the same way

A scientist who discovered why fingertips wrinkle in water has now found out they always do it in the same pattern.
Two years ago Professor Guy German published research about why human skin wrinkles when a person stays in the water too long.
It was believed water swelled your skin but little to no research had been done to prove that.
Prof German and a team at Binghamton University, New York State found that blood vessels beneath the skin contract after prolonged immersion, and that’s where the wrinkles come from.
But then later a student asked if the wrinkles always form in the same pattern every time you're in the water for too long.
To find out the team used volunteers and subjected their fingers to immersion in water for 30 minutes and took photos of the skin changes.
The team then repeated the process 24 hours later and found the same patterns of raised loops and ridges after both immersions.
They also discovered that wrinkles don’t form in people who have median nerve damage in their fingers most commonly caused by carpal tunnel.
German said “Blood vessels don’t change their position much — they move around a bit, but in relation to other blood vessels, they’re pretty static.
“That means the wrinkles should form in the same manner, and we proved that they do.”
OPS: Identical wrinkles pairs established and numbered on a subject's ring finger 24 hours apart after submerging in water for 30 minutes.
