Students are tasked with designing a cushion around an egg that prevents it from cracking when dropped from a height. Conventional wisdom suggests that positioning the egg vertically will increase the chance of keeping its shell intact.<\/p>\n<p>Now, researchers say that long-held assumption might not be accurate. After leading MIT college students in egg drop competitions during freshman orientation, some engineers decided to examine the science behind the task. Their work, which suggests eggs dropped horizontally are less likely to crack, was published last week in the journal <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s42005-025-02087-0\">Communications Physics<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery year, we follow the scientific literature and talk to the students about how to position the egg to avoid breakage on impact,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/cee.mit.edu\/people_individual\/tal-cohen\/\">Tal Cohen<\/a>, an engineering professor at MIT, in a <a href=\"https:\/\/news.mit.edu\/2025\/mit-engineering-students-crack-egg-dilemma-sideways-stronger-0508\">statement<\/a>. \u201cBut about three years ago, we started to question whether vertical really is stronger.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"video\">\n<div class=\"embedly-plugin\" data-type=\"video\">\n<div class=\"video-image\">\n<p>Dynamic Drop Test Experiment<\/p>\n<div class=\"video-thumbnail\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/FrNqzY6SM7Y\/maxresdefault.jpg\" data-video-id=\"FrNqzY6SM7Y\"\/><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>  <iframe width=\"854\" src=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" id=\"player\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"autoplay\"><\/iframe><\/p><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>So, Cohen and her team took their curiosity to the lab. First, they crushed 60 eggs in a series of static compression tests designed to measure the force needed to break them, both horizontally and vertically. The researchers found that roughly the same force\u2014around 45 newtons\u2014was needed to crack the eggs regardless of orientation, but the horizontal eggs compressed more before breaking.<\/p>\n<p>Then, they dropped 180 eggs from three short heights, all under half an inch, and in various orientations\u2014horizontal, vertical with the wide end down and vertical with the narrow end down. The team found that the eggs dropped on their sides were least likely to crack.<\/p>\n<p>The fact that the horizontally dropped eggs compress more is a key difference. Humans use a similar shock-absorbing technique with our legs, as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/scholar.google.com\/citations?user=gtTHFmIAAAAJ&amp;hl=en\">Joseph Bonavia<\/a>, a study co-author and engineering graduate student at MIT, tells Veronique Greenwood at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/05\/08\/science\/egg-drop-challenge.html\"><em>New York Times<\/em><\/a>.\u00a0\u201cIf you are falling from a height, you don\u2019t want to lock your knees. You\u2019ll break your bones,\u201d he explains. \u201cYou want to bend your knees\u2014that\u2019s what the egg is doing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe common sense is that the egg in the vertical direction is stronger than if you lay the egg down. But they proved that\u2019s not the case,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/meyersgroup.ucsd.edu\/\">Marc Meyers<\/a>, a materials scientist at the University of California, San Diego, who was not involved in the study, to Adithi Ramakrishnan at the <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/how-to-drop-an-egg-without-cracking-it-a5ae1c5d8ff22c7d76be3b8329f448be\">Associated Press<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>When cooking or baking, we usually crack eggs on their sides. That might be the reason behind the belief that the side of an egg is more fragile, says <a href=\"https:\/\/scholar.google.com\/citations?user=KGUyOA0AAAAJ&amp;hl=en\">Brendan M. Unikewicz<\/a>, a graduate student and study co-author, to the <em>New York Times<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut that\u2019s not the same as resisting impact,\u201d he explains in the statement. \u201cCracking an egg for cooking involves applying locally focused force for a clean break to retrieve the yolk, while its resistance to breaking from a drop involves distributing and absorbing energy across the shell.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Because the eggs were dropped from such low heights, the team can\u2019t confirm that their results would hold up under traditional egg drop challenge conditions, which might send the eggs falling from the top of a ladder or building. But the study is a reminder of the importance of challenging commonly held notions, the researchers say, even though it can be hard to secure funding to test ideas that are widely thought to be already confirmed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe hope our work inspires students to stay curious, question even the most familiar assumptions and continue thinking critically about the physical world around them,\u201d Cohen says in the statement. \u201cThat\u2019s what we strive to do in our group\u2014constantly challenge what we\u2019re taught through thoughtful inquiry.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"in-article-newsletter\">\n<div class=\"leade\">\n<h3>Get the latest stories in your inbox every weekday.<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<section class=\"tag-list\">\n<nav class=\"nav-tags\">\n<\/nav>\n<\/section><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Experiments challenge the commonly held idea that dropping an egg vertically will help prevent it from cracking in a classic school assignment Sara Hashemi &#8211; Daily Correspondent May 12, 2025 2:56 p.m. The researchers conducted\u00a0static compression tests to measure the force needed to break the eggs in different positions.
