Here’s hoping Humpty Dumpty reads the news. In research out today, scientists have apparently figured out the safest way to ...

Celia Astorga Gallardo, 20, from Viterbo, Italy, was making an omelet for her friends using 12 eggs. When she went to flip the massive omelette, it slipped out and landed on the kitchen floor.

Possibly the most common science experiment from our school days – the egg drop challenge – now has found a place in the ...

The incredible, edible egg is also breakable, but at what height? Heidi Skinner has some questions about a Massachusetts ...

What's more, if we were to pick them up horizontally out of a cardboard container, they'd be less likely to crack if we dropped them straight on the floor. 'Eggs are tougher when loaded on their ...

The researchers also ran simulations and dropped eggs horizontally and vertically from three short heights up to 0.4 inches (10 millimeters). The result? The ones dropped horizontally cracked less.

Eggs are less likely to crack when dropped on their side than when dropped vertically, finds research published in Communications Physics. Controlled trials simulating the "egg drop challenge," a ...

Experiments challenge the commonly held idea that dropping an egg vertically will help prevent it from cracking in a classic ...

The ones dropped horizontally cracked less.“The common sense is that the egg in the vertical direction is stronger than if you lay the egg down. But they proved that's not the case,” said ...
