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.

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”. 😉

I’m going to point this at stars and zoom in. This better work, Nerdalinger!

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.

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.

Yeah, this capability was about the only thing left a phone will not do... I knew it was only a matter of time before they were full on Tricorders.
This is super cool. I wonder if it could be used to test rock samples in Gold hunting? Or maybe even date artifact stone strata associations?

We could definitely use this in our laboratory. It might not be GLP grade but good enough for process development.

“Spectrometers are critical tools for helping us understand the chemical and physical properties of various materials based on how light changes when it interacts with those materials,” Uh, why would I want to carry one of these around in my pocket?
Full disclosure: I missed the boat completely on cell phones thinking that only a few big-shots would have any interest in carrying around a phone with them all of the time. Today, I have one.

There are already commercial spectral sensors with this capability on the market using a more conventional spectral filtering technology and which are being used in several consumer products.
