Has anyone ever used crystal physics to understand the lattice structure of a box of popcorn? I feel like there may be an #igNobel prize in there for understanding that. I am open to collaborators lmao

Getting #IgNobel vibes from this Periodic cooking of eggs paper

Periodic cooking of eggs - Communications Engineering

Emilia Di Lorenzo and colleagues propose an approach to address the energy transport problem of cooking the albumen and yolk of a boiled egg at their optimal temperatures without separation. By alternating immersion in boiling water and water at 30∘C, the researchers achieve a fully set albumen similar to a soft boiled egg but with a creamy yolk similar to that of an egg cooked sous vide. The approach potentially offers nutritional benefit compared to other cooking approaches.

Oh oh. Mi sa che i nostri di Padova e la loro cacio e pepe scientifica hanno dei rivali per quell'IgNobel.

CACIO E PEPE PHYSICS UPDATE:
People from that paper are being interviewed by BBC in less than half a hour. OMG, I'm really starting to see that #IgNobel coming my alma mater's way 🤯

FISICA DELLA CACIO E PEPE - AGGIORNAMENTO:
Autori dell'articolo saranno intervistati dalla BBC tra meno di mezz'ora. Oddio, inizio a intravedere quell'IgNobel dirigersi verso la mia università 🤯
