This year’s Ig Nobels include a biomechanics prize for creating a precise definition of kissing and a soil-science award for investigating what happens if you bury and then dig up 1,000 pairs of underwear. go.nature.com/4zUQyTB

Buried underpants and a new definition of kissing win 2026 Ig Nobel prizes

The awards highlight weird, funny and improbable research that also makes you think.
