Researchers Formulas Hair Pigtail shape to Award

The team of researchers from the United States and Britain are finding formulas form pigtails Ig Nobel award. The research won the award in the field of physics.
Ig Nobel science awards in this study is a more "down to earth" and glance seem silly. Awards are given in various areas include neuroscience, chemistry, anatomy, medicine and literature.
Despite sounding silly, research scientists who receive this award are very close to the daily life and also published in international scientific journals.
In addition to the discovery of the formula pigtail shape, award winning research is research that chimpanzees can recognize each other by just looking at the back and research why spilled coffee cup when driven.
Patrick Warren, a researcher from Unilever, was proud to receive this award. "I am pleased that little research activity is getting so much attention," he said.
"My field, statistical physics, is not something that many heard, so I'm very proud that we are doing something that is acceptable to others," he said as quoted by the BBC, Jumnat (21/09/2012).
The formula is found Warren and his colleagues called "Equation Form Pigtail Hair". According to the equation, the shape is determined by the fiber pigtails hair, stiffness, the effect of gravity, the hair kekeritingan.
Warren claimed, longstanding research. In the company, the hair becomes very important matter because Unilever manufactures many hair care products. However, this research could have broad implications.
"I also think that we can contribute to the wider field of animation. Hair, for example, is an object that is difficult to make natural in computer animation," he said.
Ig Nobel held on Thursday (09/20/2012) at Harvard's Sanders Theatre. This award is given to the the 22nd time. The award was initiated by the science humor magazine, Annals of Improbable Research.
Awards are always attended and delivered by Nobel laureates simple. Award recipients were given 60 seconds to say a few words after receiving the award. If so, a messenger girl would yell "boring".
