Published: December 2019

An in-line and real time chromatic sensor for liquids based on plastic optical fiber was developed. It uses an air gap, fiber to fiber, transmission principle. Its dependency to turbidity and refractive index is studied and characterized. This information will provide the necessary knowledge for future implementation of more complex auto-compensations routines. Due to the predictable behavior of the sensor to variations of turbidity and refractive index, it is shown that a posterior compensation could be applied for the discrimination of color. The real-time color sensor can be used in different turbid liquids and contain different refractive indices.

Single-molecule fluorescence spectroscopy offers unique capabilities for the low-concentration sensing and probing of molecular dynmics. However, employing such a methodology for versatile sensing and diagnostics under point-of-care demands device miniaturization to lab-on-a-chip size. In this study, we numerically design metalenses with high numerical aperture (NA = 1.

Phosphate (Pi) has an important influence on the water environment and physiological processes. Therefore, developing fluorescent probe for quantitative detection of Pi is crucial for water environment monitoring and human health assessment. This work designed a dual-emission ratio nano-fluorescent probe GCDs/Eu-BDC based on europium-based metal-organic frameworks (Eu-MOFs) and blue carbon dots (GCDs) for multicolor fluorescence detection of Pi.

Artificial intelligence (AI) in animal behavior and welfare research is on the rise. AI can detect behaviors and localize animals in video recordings, thus it is a valuable tool for studying social dynamics. However, maintaining the identity of individuals over time, especially in homogeneous poultry flocks, remains challenging for algorithms.

Covalent organic frameworks designed as chromatic sensors offer opportunities to probe biological interfaces, particularly when combined with biocompatible matrices. Particularly compelling is the prospect of chemical tomography - or the 3D spatial mapping of chemical detail within the complex environment of living systems. Herein, we demonstrate a chromic Covalent Organic Framework (COF) integrated within silk fibroin (SF) microneedles that probe plant vasculature, sense the alkalization of vascular fluid as a biomarker for drought stress, and provide a 3D in-vivo mapping of chemical gradients using smartphone technology.
