Who is that playing trick-or-treat? That cheeky monster flashing its spook-tacular grin is actually a visual trick. Captured here are mouse brain cells using expansion microscopy. This approach has various applications, incl. tracing neurons for connectomics studies & also scaring the onlookers. 👻

Congratulations on the Physics IG Nobel Prize 2025: The perfect Cacio e Pepe Sauce! Not least to our beloved Fabrizio Olmeda from @istaresearch.bsky.social!
1/n Some time ago my colleague, excellent cook, and friend Ivan told me: "Cacio e pepe is the recipe that I screw up more often. Let's make a project studying systematically the physics of that sauce".
Prepare to get cheesy, I'm glad to share the Cacio e paper preprint:

Please enjoy this table of possible future scenarios from a 1990s paper in a peer-reviewed journal on how to deal with nuclear waste storage in underground repositories in New Mexico. I found it while doing research for an article on nuclear waste storage. "WIPP" means "Waste Isolation Pilot Plant".
