Remotely controlled on-demand functional healing is vital to components that are difficult to access and repair in distance such as satellites and unmanned cruising aircrafts. Compared with other stimuli, a blue laser is a better choice to input energy to the damaged area in distance because of its high energy density and low dissipation through the air. Herein, diselenide-containing polyurethane (PUSe) is first employed to fabricate visible light-responsive stretchable conductive composites with multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). Then, laser-induced remote healing was realized based on the characteristics of long-distance propagation of lasers and the dynamic properties of diselenide bonds. Moreover, the PUSe/MWCNT composite film can be used to transfer an electrical signal in the circuit containing a signal generator. This laser-induced remote healing of conductivity paves the way for developing healing conductors which are difficult to access and repair.

Ground-Based Remote Standoff Laser Spectroscopies and Reflectance Spectral Imaging for Multimodal Analysis of Wall Painting Stratigraphy.

Anal Chem

This paper presents a novel multimodal remote sensing setup to analyze the complex stratigraphy of historical wall paintings at distances of order 10 m. The proposed method enables comprehensive investigation of the chemical composition of multilayer paint stratigraphy by combining standoff laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy for elemental profiling with noninvasive standoff Raman spectroscopy and visible and near-infrared (400-900 nm) reflectance spectral imaging for depth-resolved complementary material characterization from a range of distances with instruments and operators located on stable ground. Following proof-of-concept laboratory tests, the feasibility and effectiveness of this standoff analytical approach is demonstrated through field analysis of a whitewashed historical wall painting, successfully identifying at least seven distinct layers from a distance of 7 m.

Bacteria are the primary cause of infectious diseases, making rapid and accurate identification crucial for timely pathogen diagnosis and disease control. However, traditional identification techniques such as polymerase chain reaction and loop-mediated isothermal amplification are complex, time-consuming, and pose infection risks. This study explores remote (~3 m) bacterial identification using laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) with a Cassegrain reflective telescope.
