A photothermal fiber sensor based on a microfiber knot resonator () and the Vernier effect is proposed and demonstrated. An TiCT nanosheet was deposited onto the ring of an using an optical deposition method to prepare photothermal devices. An and a bare were used as the sensing part and reference part, respectively, of a Vernier-cascade system. The optical and photothermal properties of the bare and the were tested. TiCT was applied to a photothermal fiber sensor for the first time. The experimental results showed that the modulation efficiency of the was 0.02 nm/mW, and based on the Vernier effect, the modulation efficiency of the cascade system was 0.15 nm/mW. The sensitivity was amplified 7.5 times. Our all-fiber photothermal sensor has many advantages such as low cost, small size, and good system compatibility. Our sensor has broad application prospects in many fields. The proposed stable device based on two-dimensional-material modification provides a new solution for improving the sensitivity of optical fiber sensors.

Clinical benefits of immunotherapy in colorectal cancer (CRC) are limited due to the low immunogenicity and immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn) is discovered to colonize CRC tumors and dampen immunotherapy by fostering an immunosuppressive TME. Herein, a controllable "Shielding-deshielding" N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc)-derived photothermal nanotherapeutic is developed to mediate cascade targeting toward tumor and intratumoral Fn for enhanced photothermal-immunotherapy.

Photothermal treatment has attracted immense interest as a promising approach for biomedical applications such as cancer ablation, yet its effectiveness is often limited by insufficient laser penetration and challenges in achieving efficient targeting of photothermal agents. Here we developed a transvascular interventional photothermal therapy (Ti-PTT), which employed a small-sized microcatheter (outer diameter: 0.60 mm, 1.

Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) is a well-recognized technique for amplifying and quantifying nuclear acid, and its real-time monitoring capability, ultrahigh sensitivity, and accuracy make it a "golden-standard" tool in both molecular biology research and clinical diagnostics. However, current qPCR tests rely on bulky instrumentation and skilled laboratorians in centralized laboratories, which spatially and temporally separate the sample collection and test, leading to longer sample turnaround times (TATs) and limited working conditions. Herein, we propose an integrated optical fiber real-time polymerase chain reaction (iF-PCR) system that successfully allows convenient sample collection, rapid thermocycling, closed-loop thermal annealing, and real-time fluorescence detection in a tiny capillary reactor.

In recent years, solar-driven photothermal water evaporation technology for seawater desalination and wastewater treatment has developed rapidly, which is of great significance for addressing the issue of freshwater scarcity. However, due to the high costs associated with the manufacturing, maintenance, and operation of such devices, their application remains challenging in remote and resource-scarce regions. Due to its excellent light absorption capability in the near-infrared region, high hydrophilicity, and stable chemical properties, coupled with the low cost of recycling waste carbonized polyphenylene sulfide, this material is an excellent choice as a photothermal material for solar-driven water evaporation devices.

The global increase in urolithiasis prevalence has led to a shift towards minimally invasive procedures, such as retrograde intrarenal surgery, supported by advancements in laser technologies for lithotripsy. Pulsed lasers, particularly the holmium YAG and the newer thulium fiber laser, have significantly transformed the management of upper urinary tract stones. However, the use of high-power lasers in these procedures introduces risks of heat-related injury.
