A new chip-scale spectrometer challenges the long-standing reliance on bulky optical systems by replacing physical light separation with computational reconstruction. For decades, analyzing the chemical makeup of materials, whether for medical diagnosis, food inspection, or pollution monitoring, has relied on large and costly laboratory instruments known as spectrometers. These systems work by splitting light into […]
