Chandra's high angular resolution has provided a surprising new view of clusters of galaxies. First, we discuss the newly discovered "cold fronts", sharp, edge-like surface brightness structures in clusters. These sharp features, previously suggested to be shock fronts, probably arise from cluster mergers. We review Chandra observations of merging clusters with radio halos that provide new insights into the particle acceleration mechanisms for producing the energetic electrons responsible for the radio halos. Second, we describe the interactions of buoyant, radio emitting plasma bubbles with the hot gas in cluster, and galaxy, atmospheres.
