Happy New Year 2025! Our winter break in northeastern Switzerland was marked by lots of snow and some impressive traditions. Did you know about the Silversterchlausen? They start early in the morning, going from house to house and wishing everyone "es guets Neus" in Appenzell.


The Nanointercell (NICe) Team wishes you Happy Holidays and a much-deserved break! 🎄✨ As you can see in the video, even our cells are feeling the holiday spirit!❄️❄️ (Sound on) @Empa_CH

Today we played the presale edition of the game Publish or Perish by @baixx062 upon organization by Nikos Tagaras @BarriersLab! We had a blast trying to get papers out despite snarky reviewers & bent rules of honest publishing 😈Big congrats @baixx062 for creating this fab game!
