The commissioning of synchrotron radiation (SR) photoacoustic (PA) infrared spectroscopy at the Canadian Light Source is described in this article. Aperture tests demonstrated an exponential relationship between the wavenumber where SR and thermal-source PA intensities are equal and beam diameter. Total PA intensity increased linearly with aperture size up to 1.5 mm (SR) or 3 mm (thermal source). At larger apertures, this intensity approached a limiting value. The SR beam diameter in the spectrometer was estimated to be about 0.8 mm in these tests. The low-frequency noise and dc offset that characterize SR PA spectra are suppressed through the calculation of average interferograms prior to Fourier transformation.

Cervical cancer, the most common gynecological malignancy, significantly and adversely affects women's physical health and well-being. Traditional surgical interventions and chemotherapy, while potentially effective, often entail serious side effects that have led to an urgent need for novel therapeutic methods. Photothermal therapy (PTT) has emerged as a promising approach due to its ability to minimize damage to healthy tissue.

The therapeutic diagnosis of liver diseases has garnered significant interest within the medical community. In recent years, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have emerged as crucial nanocarriers for the treatment of liver ailments. Their remarkable diagnostic capabilities enable them to be used in techniques such as high-throughput mass spectrometry (MS), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging, photoacoustic imaging (PAI), and ultrasonography (US), attracting considerable attention.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have attracted significant interest in material chemistry, particularly if they own extremely low band gaps and magnetic properties. However, challenges remain regarding the synthetic accessibility and energy saturation issues. In this study, we introduce NR-11, which consists of eleven aromatic rings in its main conjugation and is separately doped with two electron-rich nitrogen atoms.

Targeting the peculiarities of tumor tissue microenvironment different from normal tissue, such as lower pH and overexpression of hydrogen peroxide is the key to effective treatment. In this study, acid-responsive Z-scheme heterojunctions polyglycolated MoS/CoFeO (MoS = molybdenum disulfide, CoFeO = cobalt ferrite) was synthesized using a two-step hydrothermal method, designated as MSCO-PEG, guided by dual modes of photoacoustic imagine (PAI) and nuclear magnetic imaging (MRI). MSCO-PEG (PEG = polyethylene glycol) responded to the acidic environment of tumor tissues and overexpression of hydrogen peroxide to turn on multimodal synergistic treatment of tumor cells under near-infrared-II (NIR-II) illumination.

The shortwave infrared (SWIR) region is an ideal spectral window for next-generation bioimaging to harness improved penetration and reduced phototoxicity. SWIR spectral activity may also be accessed via supramolecular dye aggregation. Unfortunately, development of dye aggregation remains challenging.
