in 2022."I preferred the taste of the cookies with the crème exposed. If I got a bite of wafer alone it was too dry for me, and if I dunked it in milk the wafer would fall apart too fast." To find out if, and how, the crème could be evenly split, the team created the"Oreometer," a 3D-printed apparatus, which employs both rubber bands and weighted coins to represent the force of twisting apart the cookies.
The researchers further explained their choice of cookie, writing in the study, "Scientifically, sandwich cookies present a paradigmatic model of parallel plate rheometry in which a fluid sample, the crème, is held between two parallel plates, the wafers. When the wafers are counter-rotated, the crème deforms, flows, and ultimately fractures, leading to separation of the cookie into two pieces.
"In essentially all possible twisting configurations, the crème tends to delaminate from one wafer, resulting in one nearly bare wafer and one with almost all the crème," Owens additionally shared with Vice.

Human cells help researchers understand squid camouflageSquids and octopuses are masters of camouflage, blending into their environment to evade predators or surprise prey. Some aspects of how these cephalopods become reversibly transparent are still 'unclear,' largely because researchers can't culture cephalopod skin cells in the lab. Today, however, researchers report that they have replicated the tunable transparency of some squid skin cells in mammalian cells, which can be cultured. The work could not only shed light on basic squid biology, but also lead to better ways to image many cell types.
