MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play crucial roles in the regulation of cellular activities and are next-generation biomarkers for early cancer detection. Simultaneous monitoring of multiplexed miRNA is very important for enhancing the accuracy of cancer diagnostics. Traditional fluorescence methods for multicomponent analysis were usually operated under multiple excitation wavelengths, because spectral crosstalk is very detrimental to detecting accuracy for multicomponent analysis. Herein, we present a fluorescence strategy for multi-miRNAs detection in plasma under a single excitation wavelength. Nucleic acid stain TOTO-1 and three labeled fluorescence dyes Cy3, Cy3.5, and Cy5 emit no fluorescence in their free state. Target miRNA hybridized the auxiliary and probe oligonucleotides into duplex nucleic acid. Intercalation interaction localized TOTO-1 and labeled dyes into the duplex nucleic acid. As a result, TOTO-1 emitted strong fluorescence and efficient Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) happened. MicroRNAs miRNA-155, miRNA-182, and miRNA-197, which are significant for the early diagnosis of lung cancer, were simultaneously detected as models. Deviations from spectral crosstalk in the presence of other miRNAs were corrected by mathematical methods. Results demonstrated that, after spectra crosstalk corrections, every miRNA at high or low concentration in plasma was determined accurately in the presence of either high or low concentrations of the other two miRNAs. This new multiplexed assay for miRNAs is promising for clinical diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutic monitoring of early-stage lung cancer.

Photoresists are thin film materials designed to transform an optimal image into a mechanical mask. Diverse exposure techniques such as photolithography induce modifications in the exposed areas that result in solubility changes that can then be selectively removed with appropriate agents (developers). Photoresist materials need to keep pace with the increasingly demand for feature size reduction.

Over recent years, the LUMinescent AntiBody Sensor (LUMABS) system, utilizing bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET), has emerged as a highly effective method for antibody detection. This system incorporates NanoLuc (Nluc) as the donor and fluorescent protein (FP) as the acceptor. However, the limited Stokes shift of FP poses a challenge, as it leads to significant spectral cross-talk between the excitation and emission spectra.

Small registers of spin qubits in silicon can exhibit hour-long coherence times and exceeded error-correction thresholds. However, their connection to larger quantum processors is an outstanding challenge. To this end, spin qubits with optical interfaces offer key advantages: they can minimize the heat load and give access to modular quantum computing architectures that eliminate cross-talk and offer a large connectivity.

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.

Low-dimensional lead-free metal halide perovskites are highly attractive for cutting-edge optoelectronic applications. Herein, we report a class of scandium-based double perovskite crystals comprising antimony dopants that can generate multiexcitonic emissions in the ultraviolet, blue, and yellow spectral regions. Owing to the zero-dimensional nature of the crystal lattice that minimizes energy crosstalk, different excitonic states in the crystals can be selectively excited by ultraviolet light, X-ray irradiation, and mechanical action, enabling dynamic control of steady/transient-state spectral features by modulating the excitation modes.
