Canadian Associate Professor Changhong Cao poses with a fake moskito ahead of the 2026 Ig Nobel Prize Ceremony in Zurich, on September 3, 2026. Changhong Cao was awarded with his team the Ig Nobel Prize in technology for pioneering the use of mosquito proboscises as high-resolution 3D printing nozzles, a process called Necroprinting. The Ig Nobel Prize is a parody of the Nobel Prize, awarded every autumn to celebrate ten unusual or trivial achievements in scientific research. (Photo by Fabrice COFFRINI / AFP via Getty Images)
