Hi,
Interesting study here on the action of acoustic alignment of nanofibres
in immersed in liquid.

It seems that classical music really does have the power to affect us
physically at the nano level and in realtime.
No doubt the researchers preferred to listen to classical music. What
results might be seen with some of the other genres.
parallel fifths or unresolved tritones (aka unclassical sounds) will
probably make the solution explode. so don't play them to your unborn
baby. (incidentally, this is why bartók is one of the heros of the
pro-choice movement).
note how i have subtly and elegantly expanded this thread from ignobel
science to ethics and women's rights. may it prosper and last the whole
year.
i wonder what further potential might be unlock'd if somebody actually
drew a connection to linux audio?
