We have developed spectral color banding (SCAN) as a new chromosome banding technique based on spectral analysis of differentially labeled chromosome band-specific painting probes. In this study, we succeeded in displaying a multicolor banding pattern for chromosome 3, which was almost identical to the pattern obtained with the corresponding G-banding. We applied this method to metaphase cells from different normal male donors with various levels of G-banding resolution, ranging from 250 to 850 bands per haploid set. The same multicolor banding pattern was observed in all samples regardless of the length of the chromosomes or the quality of the G-banding. We then used SCAN in a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma case for a complete analysis of the intrachromosomal change for chromosome 3, which could not be fully characterized by G-banding or even by spectral karyotyping (SKY). SCAN could detect the duplicated segment and identify the origin of the chromosome band on the basis of the specific spectral color of each band. This study demonstrates that SCAN is a useful tool for full characterization of chromosomal abnormalities not identified by SKY.

We have observed the Berry phase effect associated with interband coherence in topological surface states (TSSs) using two-color high-harmonic spectroscopy. This Berry phase accumulates along the evolution path of strong field-driven electron-hole quasiparticles in electronic bands with strong spin-orbit coupling. By introducing a secondary weak field, we perturb the evolution of Dirac fermions in TSSs and thus provide access to the Berry phase.

Multicolor microscopy and super-resolution optical microscopy are two widely used techniques that greatly enhance the ability to distinguish and resolve structures in cellular imaging. These methods have individually transformed cellular imaging by allowing detailed visualization of cellular and subcellular structures, as well as organelle interactions. However, integrating multicolor and super-resolution microscopy into a single method remains challenging due to issues like spectral overlap, crosstalk, photobleaching, phototoxicity, and technical complexity.

Ultra-narrowband and highly modifiable multiple resonance thermally activated delayed fluorescence (MR-TADF) materials are crucial for realizing high-performance wide-color-gamut display applications. Despite progress, most MR-TADF emitters remain confined to blue and green wavelengths, with difficulties extending into longer wavelengths without significant spectral broadening, which compromises color purity in full-color organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays. In this work, we present a novel tetraazacyclophane-based architecture embedding dual boron atoms to remarkedly enhance intramolecular charge transfer through the strategic positioning of boron and nitrogen atoms.

Optical filtering is an indispensable part of fluorescence microscopy for selectively highlighting molecules labeled with a specific fluorophore and suppressing background noise. However, the utilization of optical filtering sets increases the complexity, size, and cost of microscopic systems, making them less suitable for multifluorescence channel, high-speed imaging. Here, we present filter-free fluorescence microscopic imaging enabled with deep learning-based digital spectral filtering.

Sweet potatoes are a rich source of nutrients and bioactive compounds, but their quality can be impacted by the drying process. This study investigates the impact of slot jet reattachment (SJR) nozzle and ultrasound (US) combined drying (SJR + US) on sweet potato quality, compared to freeze-drying (FD), SJR drying, and hot air drying (HAD). SJR + US drying at 50 °C closely resembled FD in enhancing quality attributes and outperformed HAD and SJR in key areas such as rehydration, shrinkage ratios, and nutritional composition.
