But their results from controlled trials simulating the egg drop challenge in the lab calls this conventional wisdom into question. It is not an unreasonable assumption to make.

Take on the DIY Egg Drop Challenge and test your creativity! Can you build the perfect egg protector and win the game without cracking the egg?

Here’s hoping Humpty Dumpty reads the news. In research out today, scientists have apparently figured out the safest way to drop an egg without it breaking. Researchers at MIT conducted the ...
