    Sinochem News News On September 10, the 31st Ig Nobel Prize Presentation Ceremony was held


    The coveted chemistry prize was awarded to an international research team because they measured the volatile organic compounds released by audiences when they watched a movie in a movie theater


    There are also chemical elements in the entomology prize.


    The Ig Nobel Prize is awarded to research that "at first glance is laughable, but at first it is thought-provoking"


    Biology Award: Analyze the changes in grunts, chirps, chatter, trills, whispers, meows, moans, squeaks, hisses, roars, howls, roars, and other patterns of cat-human communication


    Ecological Award: Use genetic analysis to identify different types of bacteria in waste chewing gum stuck on sidewalks in different countries/regions


    Chemistry Award: A chemical analysis of the air in a movie theater to test the degree of violence, sex, anti-social behavior, drug use, and vulgar language in the movie that the audience is watching


    Economics Prize: The study found that the obesity of a country’s politicians may be a good indicator of the country’s corruption


      Medical Award: Prove that sex is as effective as nasal congestion spray in improving nasal breathing


      Peace Prize: Verifies the hypothesis that humans have evolved beards to protect themselves from attacks


      Physics Prize: The experiment analyzed why pedestrians do not often collide with other pedestrians


      Dynamics Award: The experiment analyzed that pedestrians collide with other pedestrians while walking


      Entomology Award: Research on a new method of controlling cockroaches in submarine


      Traffic award: through experiments to determine whether it is safer to transport rhinos upside down in the air


      Unlike the real Nobel Prize, although these studies seem funny, there are many rigorous scientific thinking and testing methods


      It is worth mentioning that in 2000, a team won the Ig Nobel Prize for "using magnetic levitation technology to float a living frog"
