Chemists and physicists take a look at creme eggs | GrrlScientist

Those crazy scientists at the University of Nottingham are at it again: just in time for Easter, they're using their scientific gadgetry to conduct various "tests" of creme eggsThose of you who suspect that scientists are not like other people might have your suspicions confirmed by these videos. These two videos capture physicists and chemists celebrating Easter, as only they can (basically, they are the only people who have the shiny expensive equipment necessary for a proper Easter celebration). In this first video, the physicists have dusted off their big, scary equipment to show us how they "test" the biomechanics of creme eggs: For those of you who would like to see the physics team's important experimental results, please do look at these data. But our favorite chemists are
