A strategy for optical nanothermometry using the negative thermal quenching behavior of intrinsic BiFeO semiconductor nanoparticles has been reported here. X-ray diffraction measurement shows polycrystalline BiFeO nanoparticles with a rhombohedral distorted perovskite structure. Transmission electron microscopy shows agglomerated crystalline nanoparticles around 20 nm in size. Photoluminescence measurements show that intensity of the defect level emission increases significantly with temperature, while the intensity of near band emission and other defect levels emissions show an opposite trend. The most important figures of merit for luminescence nanothermometry: the absolute ( ) and the relative sensor sensitivity ( ) and the temperature resolution (Δ ) were effectively resolved and calculated. The relative sensitivity and temperature resolution values are found to be 2.5% K and 0.2 K, respectively which are among the highest reported values observed so far for semiconductors.

In this Letter, a two-term formalism for constructing protein solubility curves in thermal proteome profiling (TPP) is considered, which takes into account the efficiency of the drug-protein binding reaction. When the reaction is incomplete, this results in distortion of the otherwise sigmoidal shape of the curve after drug treatment, which is often observed in experiments. This distortion may be significant enough to disqualify the corresponding protein from the list of drug target candidates, thus negatively affecting the results of TPP data analysis.

This study aimed to develop polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and kappa-carrageenan (κCA) biocomposite films using a Pickering emulsion technique for wound care applications. Juniper essential oil and modified sepiolite were incorporated to enhance functionality, with films prepared via solvent casting and characterized for structural, thermal, and mechanical properties. The PCOS-2 film exhibited the highest mechanical performance, with Young's modulus of 6.

Thermal quenching (TQ) of luminescence presents a significant barrier to the effective use of optical thermometers in high-temperature applications. Herein, we report a novel uniaxial negative thermal expansion (NTE) phosphor, YMoO:Yb,Nd, synthesized by a solid-state reaction. Under 980 nm laser excitation, it exhibits excellent thermally enhanced near-infrared (NIR) upconversion luminescence (UCL) performance.
