Though the investigation on controlling the fluorescence properties of nanocrystals (NCs) with single emission has been widely reported, few efforts were spent on adjusting the fluorescence properties of NCs with multiple emission peaks. In this work, we successfully synthesized multicolor MnSe:ZnSe NCs with multiple emission peaks and developed a simple and accurate method to realize photoluminescence (PL) spectra (or color) adjustment. The PL of MnSe:ZnSe NCs has two distinct emission peaks, the trap emission of ZnSe at 475nm and Mn(2+)-induced emission at 585nm. By adjusting the nucleation temperature, the emission color of the NCs can be encoded according to the ratio of the emission intensities at 475 and 585nm. With the nucleation temperature rising from 0 to 70°C, the PL ratio between trap emission and Mn(2+)-induced emission can be consecutively changed from (1, 3) to (1, 0.5). In addition, the trap state is deeply inside the NCs rather than on NCs surface so that the trap emission is stable during environment change. Thus, these MnSe:ZnSe NCs hold great promise as novel single-particle coding labels for biomedical imaging.

Globally, agricultural lands are among the top emitters of greenhouse gases (GHGs), responsible for over 20% of total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Climatic conditions, an acute challenge in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), where access to mitigation technologies remains limited, have heavily influenced these lands. This study explores GHG contributions from crop production and their devastating and deteriorating impacts on the economy and environment and proposes a sustainable solution.

Road runoff underwent treatment using a filter filled with sludge from drinking water treatment plants to assess its capacity for removing dissolved organic matter (DOM). This evaluation utilized resin fractionation, gel permeation chromatography, three-dimensional excitation-emission matrix fluorescence spectroscopy, and UV-Visible spectroscopy. The filter demonstrated enhanced efficiency in removing dissolved organic carbon, achieving removal rates between 70 and 80%.

Polarity-sensitive probes (PAS) were synthesized through the attachment of azetidine and sulfonyl substituents to the pyrene fluorescent core. The emission peaks and fluorescence lifetimes of these PAS probes exhibit high sensitivity to polarity, enabling the visualization of microenvironmental characteristics and dynamics across multiple organelles.

The EBIS achieves a temporal resolution of ∼10s (∼ 100,000 frames/s), while the CIS provides diffraction-limited spatial resolution. A diffractive optical element encodes spectral information into a diffractogram, which is recorded by the CIS.

However, the intrinsic emission characteristics of TMDCs are inherently dependent on the specific material, which constrains their tunability for practical applications. In this study, we propose a strategy for the selective enhancement and modification of second-harmonic generation (SHG) emission in a multilayer WS flake through the implementation of a silicon (Si)-based circular Bragg grating (CBG) structure positioned on an Au/SiO substrate.
