Is It Real Wood? Using NIRS to Spot the Difference!

Can Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) really tell the difference between real wood and vinyl? 🌲🪵 In this video, I head to Home Depot and Lowe’s with a portable NIRS device to put it to the test. Have you ever wondered if that wood floor is actually wood—or vinyl in disguise? Using Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS), I’ll show how science can reveal the hidden chemical fingerprints of everyday materials. You’ll discover: ✅ How NIRS works (explained simply with visuals and demos) ✅ What makes wood vs. vinyl different at the molecular level ✅ Critical signal processing steps that turn messy spectra into clear insights ✅ Why real-world measurements can be both fun and powerful This experiment is part science demo, part DIY detective work, and 100% curiosity-driven. Whether you’re into spectroscopy, data science, or just love finding out how things really work, you’ll enjoy this ride. 🔬 Curious about Part 2?
