Gadgets & Gizmos: Ig Nobel prizes, cyborg cockroaches, a moon simulator & concrete inflatable buildings
Share Radio's technology editor Steve Caplin reveals to Simon Rose the winners of the Ig Nobel prizes for science. There's also news of how AI can change the accents of cold callers, of a giant simulated moon you can visit, how building blueprints can be interpreted by robots, how cockroaches can be turned into cyborgs for dangerous situations, how concrete buildings can be easily constructed using inflatable forms, a motorless food blender, a clever camping lantern and why Janet Jackson might crash your laptop.
