Pasta Sauce Physics, Eating Teflon, and Drunk Bats: The 2025 Ig Nobel Prizes Celebrate the Joy of Offbeat Science

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-09-21 03:41:25

The 2025 Nobel Prizes will be announced in early October. But if you’re like me, a science aficionado with an insatiable desire for ridiculous, intelligent research, yesterday’s parody of the prestigious prize may be of more interest. I am talking, of course, about the 35th Ig Nobel Prizes—an annual ceremony highlighting the weirdest research across all scientific disciplines. As always, the 10 prizes were selected by the Annals of Improbable Research magazine and presented by “a gaggle of bemu

Does alcohol enhance one's foreign language fluency? Do West African lizards have a preferred pizza topping? And can painting cows with zebra stripes help repel biting flies? These and other unusual research questions were honored tonight in a virtual ceremony to announce the 2025 recipients of the annual Ig Nobel Prizes. Yes, it's that time of year again, when the serious and the silly converge—for science. Established in 1991, the Ig Nobels are a good-natured parody of the Nobel Prizes; they

Ambrosia Sky is an essay on death masquerading as a sci-fi cleaning sim

engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-24 04:45:22

Dalia is a death cleaner. Death cleaning, as we know it, is the process of sanitizing and tidying the spaces where people take their final breaths, sometimes long after their bodies have begun to decompose. It’s a job here on Earth in the year 2025, but Dalia’s version of death cleaning takes place on the rings of Saturn in a distant future filled with space travel, interplanetary colonization and devastating disease outbreaks.

Joe Maring / Android Authority Not a day goes by without YouTube urging me to subscribe to Premium. Whether barraging me with endless ads or taunting me with the lack of free downloads and background play support, Google believes it has a compelling case of pay-to-play. I’m not so sure. Even though a Premium subscription would save me a lot of headaches and allow me access to other features, there are no plans that fit my living situation, and this is likely a problem for many others as well.

Scientists Stunned as Tiny Algae Keep Moving Inside Arctic Ice
