Forscher in Finnland sagen, sie hätten das Gleiche für sperrige Labor -Farb- und Lichtspektralanalyse -Maschinen geschaffen – aber als winzige Sensoren, die in zukünftige Smartphones integriert werden können.

My first thought was that this reminds me of those tricorder devices you see in ‚Star Trek‘, where an away team does an analysis on an unknown substance.

There would be an almost endless list of new uses for smartphones with this technology. I wonder though will people feel less safe as they find out more about their environment? This will let people understand a lot more about contamination and unsafe substances in their surroundings.
