Monash University researchers have combined acoustic waves and fluid dynamics to create a new approach for separating high-quality sperm in assisted reproduction - opening new windows for infertile couples to have a family of their own. This rapid and automated acoustofluidic process, developed by a team...
In-vitro fertilization (IVF) can offer a life-changing solution to infertile couples. But the average success rate for IVF is about 30 percent.
