Banana peel slickness study nets Japanese team Ig Nobel award
CAMBRIDGE, United States - Kiyoshi Mabuchi, a professor of Japan's Kitasato University, holds a bunch of bananas during an interview with Kyodo News at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on Sept. 18, 2014. The work by a group of researchers, including himself, measuring the friction that occurs when someone steps on a banana peel, led to the winning of the spoof Ig Nobel Prize for physics in 2014, which was awarded the same day at the university.
