“The tricorder is no longer science fiction,” a recent Tel Aviv University (TAU) article declared. (...) Created by TAU engineering professor, David Mendlovic, and doctoral student, Ariel Raz, (...) the smartphone cameras #hyperspectral images that record the #spectrum of light present in every pixel of the image. Software then creates a spectral map and compares it to a database of spectral “fingerprints” associated with substances.
