Spinning egg yolks hint at how concussions warp the brain – Livescience.com

How do you study concussions without cracking any skulls? Try using an egg scrambler.
In a new study, published Jan. 19 in the journal Physics of Fluids
, scientists drew inspiration from how egg
scramblers mix up egg whites and yolks without first cracking the shell. The device simply rotates the uncracked egg at super-high speeds, and that force gets transmitted to the liquid inside, popping the yolk. Similarly, in most concussive brain injuries
