jk I'm all about that bread @danishcookies@computerfairi.es

@danishcookies @ben sounds like you have a semiconducting gender. that's great! no further action is required.

@danishcookies @ben Well I mean, you can take a small sample and bring it up to test conditions without lighting up the entire gender...
You could just do a really low-energy ionization test, but then you'll miss anything that's solid or liquid at room temperature.
Raman spectrometry can work too, and can also identify cold molecular compositions that a hot emission spectrum will miss.
If your gender is crystalline when solid, there's always X-ray crystallography.

@ben cubic spline interpolation is popular, but probably not a good idea in this case because gender emission spectra can depend on a lot of unpredictable higher-order effects. even a superposition of delta functions gives you a more useful approximation.

and, of course, keep in mind that gender spectra can vary a lot with degree of excitation, pressure, and temperature. ensure your gender is in a thermal steady-state before taking sensitive measurements.
