Are you a male who is considering having a baby? How much do you know about male fertility? Here's a device that could help. This is Trak, the world’s first 'DIY' retail sperm count test, which helps men keep track of their sperm levels. The pocket tester, which can perform a sperm count in a sample in as little as 5 minutes, was showcased at the 2017 SXSW festival in Austin, Texas, on Wednesday. The device spins a test with a sperm sample before storing the results in a smartphone app. Users can then track and improve their own sperm count through the app by offering guidelines on making lifestyle adjustments which can have a large impact on sperm count. The kit is due to hit the shelves with the retail price of $50.
A brand new printing technology developed as a joint project by Shandong University and the University of California may revolutionize the printing industry and help make a huge impact on slowing down deforestation. The new technology doesn't print with traditional ink, rather, the printers use ultraviolet light to create images on paper. However, once the information or images are no longer needed, the ink can be erased when exposed to high heat. Researchers showed off a proof of concept of their invention in the Chinese city of Jinan on Thursday. Investors are eyeing the new printing tech and some have already shown interest in developing the product commercially. Imagine being able to reuse paper as many times as you want and also helping the environment at the same time.
