The sound of bacterium tails, or flagella, engaging with the graphene drum and causing back-and-forth movements known as oscillations was actually heard by the researchers. This could be the gateway to understanding how listening to bacteria's movement could help treat antibiotic resistance.
Experiments on "listening to" bacteria's motion are bound to raise some eyebrows, but scientists appear to be upbeat. They suggest that studying such a "sonata" will aid doctors in their research int...
