I doubt lab grade, but probably decent enough for general use. If you can get 80% accuracy through a cell phone, it gives you something to start with.

I should probably add that I mean just a normal cellphone and not one that was built to do spectronomy or spectrographing.

Another Star Trek prediction coming true.
To: Red Badger
Very cool... if it really works. There have been a number of “young guns” lately who made fantastic claims, started companies, raised a bunch of money... and turned out to be... how can I put this gently? ... “exaggerating”. 😉

Literally a tri-corder!!
We’ll soon be able to “scan for spatial distortions!”. ;p
Very cool if true.

Great, so now I have to worry about being run off the road by drivers doing spectroscopy on their phones. How I miss the old days when all you had to worry about was texting and driving.

Ah, but university’s do get patents, and investor funding for these “discoveries” just like a corporation would do.

I just looked up what I think are the grant amounts.
About $1.5 mil for both.
If that’s correct, great bang for the buck.
