The goal of the study was to measure the movement of human sperm tails to understand their fertility potential. Researchers used high-speed cameras to track the fast beating of sperm tails. They developed a method to study how different factors affect sperm movement at the single-cell level. This new approach complements existing methods for analyzing sperm in bulk.
