From eating fossils to reanimating dead spiders for use as mechanical gripping tools, this year's Ig Nobel prizes, for science that"makes people laugh, then think", are unveiledSeptember is here, and with it the year’s new crop of 10 Ig Nobel prizes, each for a piece of research chosen with the same simple criterion – that it makes people laugh, then think. As per tradition, Feedback presents them to you.
In presenting them the prize, Barry Sharpless, who has two Nobel prizes in chemistry, confessed he himself is terrified of spiders because of a childhood encounter with tarantulas. He expressed admiration for the necroboticists’ courage., a device that uses a variety of technologies – including a computer-vision system for defecation analysis and an anal-print sensor paired with an identification camera – to monitor and quickly analyse the substances that humans excrete.
