Researchers at University of California San Diego have discovered that when certain microbes pair up, stunning floral patterns emerge. When non-motile E. coli are placed on an agar surface together with motile A. baylyi, the E. coli “catch a wave” at the front of the expanding A. baylyi colony.

A new method could enable researchers to build more efficient, longer lasting perovskite solar cells and LEDs. By growing thin perovskite films on different substrates, UC San Diego engineers invented a way of fabricating perovskite single crystals with precisely deformed, or strained, structures.
