Smelly Shoes: A Scientific Approach to Odor Control

Two Indian researchers did a funny study about smelly shoes. They asked students about their smelly shoes. Many people felt embarrassed by shoe smells. The researchers found that a special light can remove the bad smell from shoes. They made a new kind of shoe rack that uses this light. It can clean smelly shoes in just a few minutes. For this funny but clever study, they won a special prize called the Ig Nobel Prize. This prize is for science that makes people laugh and think.
