Forces between clustered stereocilia minimize friction in the ear on a subnanometre scale
The detection of sound begins when energy derived from an acoustic stimulus deflects the hair bundles atop hair cells(1). As hair bundles move, the viscous friction between stereocilia and the surrounding liquid poses a fundamental physical challenge to the ear’fs high sensitivity and sharp frequenc...
