Japanese Scientists Discover a Breakthrough in Sperm and Algae Movement

October 29, 2023

Japanese scientists have determined that human sperm violate Newton's Third Law. They move in such a way that the surrounding environment does not affect them. Specialists in hydrodynamics and mathematical modeling have observed that both sperm and Chlamydomonas algae exhibit more efficient movement than if the law acted on them linearly. According to researchers, the tails of sperm and the flagella of algae possess an antisymmetric elasticity, allowing them to move without losing a significant amount of energy.
