From The Guardian ...

"It sounds like the breakthrough that no one was asking for: scientists have announced they have managed to “unboil” an egg. In a disgusting-sounding experiment that you probably shouldn’t try at home, an international team of researchers have used urea, one of the main components of urine, and a “vortex fluid device” to uncook a hen’s egg. They believe the findings could dramatically reduce costs in processes as far apart as cheese manufacturing and cancer research."

    Here's the full research paper [wiley.com].
    Anyway, this sounds like a fun experiment for long winter evenings, why shouldn't I do it? Is it because the mysterious "vortex fluid device" won't work without a finger-longer?
