Craving the perfect egg on #worldeggday? Check out this paper: www.nature.com/articles/s44...
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.

Remember this? In the 1990s, a popular view of nanotechnology claimed that molecular gears like this, made of diamondoid carbon, were going to be the components of molecular-scale assemblers and nanobots. But that vision hasn't come to pass. My article in Aeon explores why.

A dysprosium amide–alkene complex shows soft magnetic hysteresis loops up to 100 kelvin, arising from the high charge density of the amide ligands and the structural role of the pendant alkene.
