Dr. James Gimzewski and Andrew Pelling observed the cellular vibrations of yeast on the using an Atomic Force Microscope in 2002. They named this observation of audible frequencies at the nanoscale “Sonocytology”, and have thus initiated a new field of research. The Art|Sci projects The Dark Side of the Cell and Blue Morph emerged directly from research conducted in Gimzewski’s lab.
