Quantum acoustics-a recently developed framework parallel to quantum optics-establishes a nonperturbative and coherent treatment of the electron-phonon interaction in real space. The quantum-acoustical representation reveals a displaced Drude peak hiding in plain sight within the venerable Fröhlich model: the optical conductivity exhibits a finite frequency maximum in the far-infrared range and the dc conductivity is suppressed. Our results elucidate the origin of the high-temperature absorption peaks in strange or bad metals, revealing that dynamical lattice disorder steers the system towards a non-Drude behavior.

The development of near-infrared organic fluorescent dyes with tunable emission profiles is highly required in the field of biological sensing and imaging. In this paper, we designed and synthesized two organic fluorescent dyes, DCM-1 and DCM-2, through the hybridization of indolizine and dicyanomethylene-4H-pyran skeleton. These two compounds show near-infrared fluorescence with emission maximum approximately at 640 and 680 nm, respectively.

This study investigated the impact of NCFM, Viniflora Oenos and CICC 6239 on bog bilberry juice with a considerably low pH and rich in anthocyanins content. Moreover, the effects of the strains on the composition of phenolic compounds, amino acids, ammonium ion, biogenic amines, reduced sugars, organic acids, and color parameters of the juice were studied. All three bacteria consumed sugars and amino acids but exhibited different growth patterns.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of strains on quality improvement of bog bilberry juice. Bog bilberry juice with different pH conditions was fermented by B7 or C8-1 strain. Physicochemical index, amino acids, phenolic compounds, and volatiles of these fermented juices were compared.

This study investigated the evolution of phenolic compounds of bog bilberry syrup wine during a bottle-aging process, and further estimated the oak chip treatment on the wine color alteration. The wine was macerated with oak chips (2 or 5 g/L under light or medium toasting level) for 20 d and then bottle-aged for 6 mo. Results showed that the oak chip treatment significantly increased the content of phenolic compounds and enhanced the copigmented anthocyanin level before aging.

This study investigated the effect of raw material, pressing, and glycosidase on the aromatic profile of goji berry wine. The free-run and the pressed juice of dried and fresh goji berries were used for wine production, whereas glycosidase was applied to wine after fermentation. Dried goji berry fermented wine exhibited much stronger fruity, floral, caramel, and herbaceous odors due to higher levels of esters, β-ionone and methionol.
