A 3D animation of a sperm moving in a corkscrew motion

Human sperm swim faster by flapping their tails on just one side and rotating around. Researchers used a high-speed 3D camera to capture the gamete’s 20–30 swimming strokes per second. What looks like boring side-to-side wiggling when observed in a dish is actually more of a precessing corkscrew motion. (Science | 2 min read)
