Egg whites provide a special protein called conalbumin. When this protein is whipped up it causes the protein to act much like soap suds making them foam up. Eventually the proteins coagulate stabilizing the foam bubbles, making it more stiff. You must be careful not to over beat the whites or else they will get all clumpy. Other things that will also ruin a meringue is the presence of any water or fat. So you want to make sure that all of your utensils are perfectly clean and dry. For this reason never use a plastic bowl when beating egg whites. The very best possible bowl to use is a copper bowl. There is a chemical reaction that occurs between the copper and the protein that results in a superior meringue.
