Police horses contribute to research in physics

By Mia Halleröd Palmgren. Published on 23 February 2017 in:
February 2017, News, , , , ,

Recently, fifteen police horses in Gothenburg, Sweden, have contributed to science. They have supported the development of a new method to detect damage in the hooves by using thermoelectric sensors. In the future, hopefully, this technique will be an attractive alternative to other diagnostic tools, for example X-rays.
