"Consider these intriguing patterns generated by chalk dust on metal plates, each vibrating at a particular resonant frequency. We have long known about this phenomenon. Astoundingly, in the 1930s we found similar formations describe the workings of the atom in quantum mechanics. This helped us explain many things including the characters of all the elements and the way light and colour are brought to the world."

Colonies of Bacteria Do Battle - Paenibacillus dendritiformis 

Poisons are unleashed when colonies of bacteria get too close, creating a toxic no-man's land in between.

Research by Eshel Ben-Jacob of the University of California, San Diego's, Center for Theoretical Biological Physics, Ben-Jacob of Tel Aviv University, Avraham Be'er of the University of Texas, Austin, and colleagues at these institutions, found that rival colonies of the bacteria Paenibacillus dendritiformis can produce a lethal chemical that keeps competitors at bay. By halting the growth of nearby colonies and even killing some of the cells, groups of bacteria preserve scarce resources for themselves, even when the encroaching colony is closely related. To learn more about this research, see the UC-San Diego news release, "Colonies of Bacteria Fight for Resources with Lethal Protein."

Illustration from 'Kunstformen der Natur' by Ernst Haeckel (1904) - plate 11: Discoidea

"German biologist, naturalist, philosopher, physician, professor and artist Ernst Haeckel (1834-1919) focus for many years was an intricate, single-celled organism known as a Radiolarian. In his initial work with them, he found, named and depicted over 150 diverse species. He would go on to document thousands more."
