Shelling your favourite snack nuts just got a lot easier: physicists have worked out the exact size of bowl to best fit discarded pistachio shells.<\/p>\n

Ruben Zakine<\/a> and Michael Benzaquen<\/a> at \u00c9cole Polytechnique in Paris often find themselves discussing science in the cafeteria while eating pistachios. Naturally, they began wondering about the mathematics behind storing their snack refuse.<\/p>\n

The researchers stuffed 613 pistachios into a cylindrical container to determine \u201cpacking density\u201d, or the fraction of space taken up by whole nuts\u2026<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
