The floor is lava!
Marvel at how suspension bridges formed by Candida albicans hyphae on the sides of nano pillars allow it to survive and avoid touching the lethal surface below coated in an antifungal compound. @ACS_ABM @ASBTE1 https://t.co/8I8cU5EZ4w

Here are some bonus images that did not make it into the publication including one I like to call "the slalom". Great work by Argha Chakraborty and my co-authors Marek Jasieniak and Hans Griesser.
