Cambridge researchers have created a compact optical spectrometer that identified food, plastics and drugs in the tests and demonstrated potential for measuring glucose and alcohol without perforation. Optical spectrometers — devices that read the chemical composition of things by the light they absorb or reflect — are behind half a world of technology, from material analysis to medicine. The problem has always been to shrink them. When they bec…
