As a microbiologist, I found this counterintuitive
Multidisciplinary approaches are really helping us to address microbiological problems.
I really like this paper from Biofilms and Microbiomes:

As a microbiologist, the hypothesis seems counter intuitive - how can pores prevent bacterial attachment? Surely bacteria will become trapped and attach more strongly.
Well, tell that to a physicist and they explain what Guoping Feng showed in the article.
The hypothesis and findings in this paper are a good example of the sort of information we can generate by working in multidisciplinary teams.
