How do you Like your Egg?...
"While it remains impossible to unring a bell, it is now possible to unboil an egg, as chemists at University of California, Irvine have discovered how to unboil egg whites by manipulating proteins.But why? Does an "unboiled egg" cure cancer?
“Yes, we have invented a way to unboil a hen egg,” said UCI chemistry and biology professor Gregory Weiss, according to UCI’s press release. “In our paper, we describe a device for pulling apart tangled proteins and allowing them to refold. We start with egg whites boiled for 20 minutes at 90 degrees Celsius and return a key protein in the egg to working order.”
