I don't remember a scientist in Azumanga Daioh, were you thinking of Nichijou?

Oi you guys, quit confusing my favorite animes with one another! Also Hakase would never do that but Tomo absolutely would. @#$

Hakase would absolutely give Nano a demon core accessory which Nano would have to fuss about keeping properly seperated the whole day at school(Mai being the only one who can tell what it is, though not speaking up).

In the evening, Nano and Sakamoto-San would convince Hakase to defuse it, but in the last second Nano accidentally slips and the core goes supercritical with an enormous flash of blue light.

The light subsides, revealing it was just an elaborate device to make the perfect runny egg.

"The Shinonome household passed another peaceful day."

One of the example memes in the article is Osaka, which may have added to the confusion.
