Detecting explosives? Investigating whether food is safe? Various mobile devices exist to do that. Last week, staff members of Dutch customs, the Dutch National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM), the Netherlands Forensic Institute (NFI) and more came together on campus for an experimentation exchange with scientists of RIKILT.
