Cutting edge technique uses fluctuations in video pixels to measure energy use of developing embryos
Researchers at the University of Plymouth have developed a cutting edge technique which enables them to instantly examine the biological traits and behaviours of developing embryos as an energy signature, rather than focusing on individual characteristics
