HANGZHOU Comprar Air Force One Low Mujer , April 12 (Xinhua) -- Many great discoveries started with whimsical questions.
When David Hu from the Georgia Institute of Technology saw a mosquito braving heavy rain to land on a man's face, the question popping up in his mind was how do the pests survive an onslaught of raindrops, each more than 50 times its weight?
Such thoughts may be fleeting for many, but Hu and his colleagues spent years solving this mystery. By observing mosquito-raindrop collisions with high-speed cameras, they found the mosquito is protected by a strong exoskeleton and can perform a dive upon impact with a raindrop to lighten its force.
The study Comprar Air Force One Low Hombre , believed to offer insight to the development of insect-sized flying robots, won Hu a Pineapple Science Prize for physics on Saturday evening in Hangzhou, capital of east China's Zhejiang Province.
China's equivalent of Ig Nobel Prizes, the U.S. parody of the real Nobel, the Pineapple awards honor the curiosity behind amusing and amazing experiments. The fourth annual awards ceremony was co-hosted by Zhejiang Science Museum and Guokr Comprar Air Force One Low , China's leading popular science website.
Its mathematics prize this year went to Huang Jinzi and his team from New York University, whose math models answered a long-sought question from childhood: "How many licks does it take to finish a lollipop?"
It was initially an experiment on how water currents dissolve solids, using hard candy as a subject, but the theory developed from the experiment was later used to answer the lollipop conundrum -- a lollipop with a diameter of 1 cm can be licked 1,000 times.
"It was actually a very serious and solemn mathematics study Comprar Air Force One High Mujer ," Huang told Xinhua. "But I'm happy about winning this prize, as it has made more people interested in hydromechanics."
The invention prize was awarded to Jia Wenzhao and his colleagues from the University of California, San Diego, who invented a sticky device that can generate electricity from sweat. With its help, you can get an extra second for your cellphone by several hours of sweaty exercise.
The current power production rate may be low Comprar Air Force One High Hombre , but Jia's team is optimistic about its energy-saving potential in an eco-friendly future when you could generate power by taking the stairs instead of consuming it in an elevator.
Others on this year's prize list included proof that "loving one's own name makes one feel happier" (psychology prize) and that "a monkey's face looks like its mother's" (medicine and biology prize). A blogger also won a special prize for spending a year documenting a meat's rotting process.
Launched in 2012 to honor imaginative research and to arouse public enthusiasm for science, the Pineapple Prize is so named because of the difficulty of peeling the fruit, its inexpensive price and popularity among ordinary people.
"Half of our jury members are not trained in science, because we want to share with the public things they like," said Li Ruihong Comprar Air Force One High , curator of Zhejiang Science Museum.
This year, the list of winners was more international -- about one third of them are from overseas, said Executive Organizer Wang Yami, adding that the organizers have also been cooperating with those of the Ig Nobel.
Hillary Clinton blasted Donald Trump Thursday for his condemnation of American military generals and his praise for Russian President Vladimir Putin, saying her Republican opponent had "failed" at proving he can be commander in chief.
"Every Republican holding or seeking office in this country should be asked if they agree with Donald Trump about these statements Comprar Air Force One Flyknit Low Mujer ," Clinton said in a news conference the morning after both candidates appeared at a national security forum.
Trump did not directly respond to Clinton's critique Thursday. At a speech in Cleveland, he tagged his Democratic opponent with a new nickname — "trigger-happy Hillary" and repeated his incorrect claim that he opposed the war in Iraq "from the beginning."
Still, Clinton indicated later in the day that she does not want the final weeks before the Election Day to be exclusively focused on Trump, unveiling plans for a series of policy speeches aimed at promoting a positive message. That effort started in Kansas City on Thursday night with an address on faith at the National Baptist Convention.
The foreign policy discussion followed a Wednesday night national security forum. Clinton was repeatedly challenged on her controversial email use at the State Department and her vote as a senator for the 2003 invasion of Iraq. She also fleshed out several national security priorities if she is elected, including trying to take out the leader of the Islamic State and vowing to defeat the extremist group without putting U.S. troops on the ground in Iraq or Syria.
Trump did little to counter criticism that he lacks detailed policy proposals Comprar Air Force One Flyknit Low Hombre , particularly regarding the Islamic State group. He both insisted he has a private blueprint for defeating the extremist group and that he would demand a plan from military leaders within 30 days of taking office. But he was also harshly critical of the military, saying America's generals have been "reduced to rubble" under Obama.
The Republican also renewed his praise for Putin and his disdain for President Barack Obama, arguing that "it's a very different system and I don't happen to like the system, but certainly, in that system Comprar Air Force One Flyknit Low , he's been a leader, far more than our president has been a leader."
Speaking to reporters Thursday morning, Clinton suggested she agreed with Democrats who say she is being held to a different standard in the White House race.
"I find it frustrating," she said. "But it's part of the landscape we live in."
With just two months until Election Day, national security has emerged as a centerpiece issue in the White House race. Both candidates believe they have the.
