2017搞笑诺贝尔奖揭晓啦!看看今年奇葩研究都有啥
Physics: Can a cat be both a solid and a liquid?
物理学奖：猫既可以是固体，也可以是液体的?
“Very recent experiments from Japan also suggest that we should not see
cats as isolated fluid systems, but as able to transfer and absorb stresses from
their environment. Indeed, in Japan, they have cat cafes, where stressed out
customers can pet kitties and purr their worries away.”
“日本最近的一些实验表明，我们不应当把猫看作一个孤立的流体系统，它们还可以转化和吸收周围环境的压力。事实上，在日本有很多猫咪咖啡馆。在那里，顾客可以尽情吸猫，让烦恼一扫而空。”
Peace: Curing sleep apnea with didgeridoos
和平奖：迪吉里杜管可治疗鼾症
Alex Suarez, a didgeridoo instructor, told the researchers that he and his
students felt less tired after their musical training. The study found that new
didgeridoo players had reduced daytime sleepiness and their partners reported
fewer nighttime disturbances.
迪吉里杜管老师苏亚雷斯告诉研究人员，他和他的学生在结束音乐训练后感到没那么疲劳了。该研究发现，学习吹奏迪吉里杜管的新生不仅白天的倦意有所减轻，他们的伴侣还反映他们在夜里打鼾的情况也少了。
Anatomy: Do old men really have bigger ears?
解剖奖：老年男性的耳朵更大吗?
James A. Heathcote in the United Kingdom took home the Anatomy prize for
his study published two decades ago in the British Medical Journal on whether
men’s ears grow as they age. Four doctors got permission to study 206 male
patients from age 30 to 93, and found that, well, ears really did seem to get
larger by a teeny 0.22 millimeters a year.
英国医生詹姆斯.希思科特凭借20年前在《英国医学期刊》上发表的关于男性耳朵是否会随着年龄增长的研究而获得解剖奖。4名医生获准对206名年龄在30-93岁之间的男性患者进行研究，他们发现，人的耳朵的确以每年0.22毫米的微小幅度在变大。
Fluid dynamics: Walking backward could reduce coffee spilling
流体力学奖：倒着走路手里拿的咖啡溢出更少
He found that walking backward or holding the cup differently both seemed
to decrease the resonance of the coffee. Walking backward, coffee-holders also
have the potential of “tripping on a stone or crashing into a passing by a
colleague who may also be walking backwards,” according to the paper.
他发现倒着走路，或者换一种姿势拿咖啡似乎都能减少咖啡的共振。该研究称，拿着咖啡向后走时，人们可能会“被石头绊倒，或者撞到同样倒行路过的同事。”
Economics: Will holding a crocodile make you a better gambler?
经济学奖：摸鳄鱼会增加赌博者的运气吗?
Matthew Rockloff and Nancy Greer at the Institute for Health and Social
Science Research at CQUniversity in Australia picked up the economics prize for
their “experiments to see how contact with a live crocodile affects a person’s
willingness to gamble.”
澳大利亚中央昆士兰大学健康和社会科学研究所的马修.洛克洛夫和南希?格利尔获得了经济学奖，他们的实验内容是“研究触摸活鳄鱼对一个人的赌博欲望会产生怎样的影响”。
Nutrition: This bat species sucks human blood
营养学奖：吸血蝙蝠食谱中的人血研究
Medicine: The neural bases of disgust for cheese: An fMRI study
医学奖：通过功能磁共振成像技术评估人对芝士的厌恶程度
Cognition: Can twins recognize their own faces?
认知学奖：同卵双胞胎能分清自己和对方的脸吗?
Obstetrics: Fetuses prefer their music delivered vaginally
产科学奖：胎儿更喜欢在母亲阴道里听到的音乐
Biology: Female penis, male vagina, and their correlated evolution in a
cave insect
生物学奖：一种洞穴昆虫雌性长着雄性生殖器官，而雄性长着雌性生殖器官的生物进化现象
