An ‘On-demand’ male contraceptive has been successfully tested on mice: it can be used when needed and its effect wears off within hours. The result, published in the journal Nature Communications and funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), …

The Science Slices is a weekly series that expands coverage on Cornell science discoveries, and briefly highlights science news and breakthroughs that have occurred each week. This week, we cover a study on a potential on-demand male contraceptive, findings uncovered about melting rates of Antarctica using an underwater robot, and researchers awarded the 2023 Sloan Research Fellowships.

For decades researchers have struggled to find a contraceptive methods for males. A new fast-acting compound shows promise — assuming it turns out to work as well in men as in mice.

An experimental drug that temporarily stops sperm in their tracks could be a “game-changer” for contraception, a new study found.
