Lumos finally enables wearable spectroscopy research
Reading Time: 2 minutesSpectroscopy is a field of study that utilizes the measurement of electromagnetic radiation (often visible light) as it reflects off of or passes through a substance. It can, for instance, help researchers determine the composition of a material, as that composition influences how the material reflects light. Spectroscopy is also used in…

Robo-fish filters microplastics like a whale with krill
Reading Time: 3 minutesThe world’s collective waste plastics don’t always stay in landfills. They often break down into microplastics that fill our oceans, then end up in our air, water supply, and food. According to an Orb Media study, 83% of the tested water samples from metropolitan areas all over the globe contained plastic fibers.…
