Tipped one of the most innovative countries of the world, an Israeli invention recently made headlines in Finland, too. A Herzliya-based company has given the concept of "a mousetrap" a whole new meaning...
Yes, seriously. Mice are being used to trace explosives, drugs or even money. Apparently mice have even better sense of smell than dogs - and Bio Explorer put these little squakey fellows to work. 4-hour-shifts, food & cleaning available.
So how does it work? A person enters a booth where a flow of air is directed. Thereafter, the air is sucked into a container where the mice work. If you're clean, after eight seconds a green light will turn on as the mice stay in the container. If you're hiding something, the mice will smell it, run away and the light will be red.
I have no idea how someone can train a mouse to do this - but apparently they were tested and were right 1199 cases out of 1200. So you bright minds of Israel, start working on a teleporter - I would have use for one of those!
