A simple critical photonic time (CPT) ranking method for the simultaneous determination of known organic dyes in the industrial wastewater of different concentrations was developed. A kinetic-measure, CPT theory, was developed to discriminate between the dyes in the textile effluent solution. The CPTs were calculated and ranked 1-4 from the smallest to the largest. The ranks indicate the order in which the individual dyes in the effluents were photocatalytically degraded. The described procedure allowed us to monitor the decolorization kinetics of the dyes in mixtures of different concentrations, when subjected to immobilized TiO2 photocatalysis in the presence of H2O2 from the start (H2O2FS). The outcome of hydroxyl radical (HO*) attack was consistently specific and regioselective for the individual dyes in the textile effluent. To explain the effect of HO*, the order of degradation of Acid Orange 52 < Acid Yellow 36 < Acid Red 17 < Acid Blue 45 < polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) was inferred.

Significance: Stimulus-evoked intrinsic optical signal (IOS) changes in retinal photoreceptors are critical for functional optoretinography (ORG). Optical coherence tomography (OCT), with its depth-resolved imaging capability, has been actively explored for IOS imaging of retinal photoreceptors. However, recent OCT studies have reported conflicting results regarding light-induced changes in the photoreceptor outer segments (OSs), with both elongation and shrinkage being observed.

Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) have emerged as promising materials for electrochemiluminescence (ECL) applications due to their unique optical and electronic properties. In this study, GQDs were synthesized via electrochemical exfoliation of graphite in a constant current density mode, enabling scalable production with controlled size and surface functionalization. GQDs-4 and GQDs-20, synthesized at applied current densities of 4 mA/cm2 and 20 mA/cm2 to the graphite electrode, respectively, were investigated on roles of surface states and exciplex dominated aggregation-induced emission (AIE) in their ECL performance.

Reproducing the microstructure of the natural cornea remains a significant challenge in achieving the mechanical and biological functionality of artificial corneas. Therefore, the development of cascade structures that mimic the natural extracellular matrix (ECM), achieving both macro-stability and micro-structure, is of critical importance. This study proposes a novel, efficient, and general photo-functionalization strategy for modifying natural biomaterials.

Under pathological conditions, astrocytes can transfer mitochondria to neurons, where they exert neuroprotective effects. In this context, we present a protocol for capturing astrocytic mitochondria in neurons of adult mice using a two-photon microscope. We describe an approach for constructing a mouse model with combined labeling of astrocytic mitochondria and neurons.
