Love letter from Emma Thompson to Finland (after filming here, in the snow). English original version comes after the Finnish translation.
I am not sure if this is freely available to all…? It is published in a local (= Helsinki) newspaper.

What's lurking in the dark? 🌌 Could dark matter indeed be composed of the strange axion particle?
Aalto researchers join the DarkQuantum consortium to explore these cosmic questions, and the group just received €12.9M in new @ERC_Research funding.

Now published in @NatureChemistry, a team led by @robin_ras has created one of the most water-repellent surfaces ever. This innovative technique defies traditional wisdom on water-surface friction, opening doors in optics, microfluidics, cooking, and more. aalto.fi/en/news/researchers…
