Women have several choices for long-lasting,
reversible contraceptives, but most options for men are either
single-use, such as condoms, or difficult to reverse, like

reversible male contraceptive, researchers reporting in ACS’ Nano
Letters have developed magnetic, biodegradable nanomaterials that
reduced the likelihood of mice fathering pups for at least 30
days.
