If researchers detected a fracture in the shell, the egg was classified as cracked. Overall, they found a 'statistically significant decrease' in the likelihood that an egg breaks when oriented ...

Egg prices have fallen 12.7% in one month, the largest decline since 1984. Avian flu and egg demand are driving the decline.

An egg might look delicate, but its shell is a marvel of natural engineering. For centuries, people believed that its strongest orientation was standing upright on its end. The idea seems to make ...
