Recent advances in physics and biology using optical micromanipulation include achievement of Bose Einstein condensation in atomic vapors at submillikelvin temperatures, demonstration of atom lasers, and detailed measurements on individual motor molecules.

The partnership of optical micromanipulation and optical characterization has revealed new principles in non-equilibrium statistical physics and is responsible for the still-controversial discovery that like-charged objects sometimes can attract each other.

Then, five years ago, a team of fertility researchers in Belgium headed by Dr . Andre van Steirteghem began new efforts at micromanipulation, as it is known, and developed the concept of injecting single sperm directly into single eggs.

The first child born from a gamete micromanipulation ( technique in which special tools and inverted microscopes are used that help embryologists to choose and pick an individual sperm for ICSI IVF ) was a child in Singapore-born in April 1989.

Also, the " micromanipulation " of reproductive cells _ done in such high-tech reproductive procedures as intracytoplasmic sperm injection or ICSI _ still results in a baby who is " an individual, " receiving DNA from both his mother and father.
