The last 25 years have seen tremendous progress in thermometry in the moderate temperature range (1 K to 1235 K). Various primary thermometers - based on different physics -have uncovered errors in the International Temperature Scale of 1990 and set the stage for the planned redefinition of the kelvin.

The prevention and early warning of foot ulcers are crucial in diabetic care; however, early microvascular lesions are difficult to detect and often diagnosed at later stages, posing serious health risks. Infrared thermal imaging, as a rapid and non-contact clinical examination technology, can sensitively detect hidden neuropathy and vascular lesions for early intervention. This review provides an informative summary of the background, mechanisms, thermal image datasets, and processing techniques used in thermal imaging for warning of diabetic foot ulcers.

Recent advancements in materials design have driven the scientific community to explore phosphor materials for multifunctional applications. This study presents the multimodal light emission (downshifting - DS, quantum cutting - QC, and upconversion - UC) from Pr/Yb activated NaLa(MoO) phosphors for multifunctional applications. Under blue (449 nm) and NIR (980 nm) excitation, co-doped phosphors emit visible light through DS and UC processes caused by different f-f transitions of Pr ions.

Infrared thermography is an advanced technology that utilizes infrared detectors to sense the infrared thermal radiation emitted from the human body' s surface, converting it into electrical signals. These signals are then processed by computers to generate planar temperature color images, providing an intuitive display of the body surface temperature distribution. Rheumatic diseases, as prevalent conditions that significantly impact the quality of life of millions of people worldwide, pose significant challenges in diagnosis and assessment.

Incorporating data-driven technologies into agriculture presents a promising approach to optimizing crop production, especially in regions dependent on irrigation, where escalating heat waves and droughts driven by climate change pose increasing challenges. Recent advancements in sensor technology have introduced diverse methods for assessing irrigation needs, including meteorological sensors for calculating reference evapotranspiration, belowground sensors for measuring plant available water, and plant sensors for direct water status measurements. Among these, infrared thermometry stands out as a non-destructive remote sensing method for monitoring transpiration, with significant potential for integration into drone- or satellite-based models.

Photon avalanche (PA)-where the absorption of a single photon initiates a 'chain reaction' of additional absorption and energy transfer events within a material-is a highly nonlinear optical process that results in upconverted light emission with an exceptionally steep dependence on the illumination intensity. Over 40 years following the first demonstration of photon avalanche emission in lanthanide-doped bulk crystals, PA emission has been achieved in nanometer-scale colloidal particles. The scaling of PA to nanomaterials has resulted in significant and rapid advances, such as luminescence imaging beyond the diffraction limit of light, optical thermometry and force sensing with (sub)micron spatial resolution, and all-optical data storage and processing.
