In this paper, an ultra-highly sensitive light-induced thermoelastic spectroscopy (LITES) based hydrogen chloride (HCl) sensor, exploiting a custom low-frequency quartz tuning fork (QTF) and a fiber-coupled multi-pass cell (MPC) with optical length of 40 m, was demonstrated. A low resonant frequency of 2.89 kHz of QTF is advantageous to produce a long energy accumulation time in LITES. Furthermore, the use of an MPC with the fiber-coupled structure not only avoids the difficulty in optical alignment but also enhances the system robustness. A distributed feedback (DFB) diode laser emitting at 1.74 µm was used as the excitation source. Under the same operating conditions, the using of low-frequency QTF provided a ~2 times signal improvement compared to that achieved using a standard 32 kHz QTF. At an integration time of 200 ms, a minimum detection limit (MDL) of 148 ppb was achieved. The reported sensor also shows an excellent linear response to HCl gas concentration in the investigated range.

Article Synopsis
- * The study develops a detection platform using Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) with dual-metal nanomaterials that enhances sensitivity, allowing the quick and direct measurement of GSM with results in as little as 4 minutes.
- * The new detection method is highly sensitive, with a detection limit of 0.16 ng/L for GSM, and shows great potential for real-time monitoring of earthy odors without the need for labels or biomaterials.
Article Synopsis
- The research focuses on the challenge of replicating the structure and functionality of Langmuir monolayers in Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films, using a specific dye (HCS) that shows promise for mercury ion detection.
- The study employs advanced X-ray techniques to analyze and compare the electron density profiles of HCS monolayers and LB films, revealing that the films maintain their structural integrity and functional properties.
- Results indicate that in both systems, mercury ions interact with crown-ether groups, leading to changes in the UV-vis spectrum that could enhance detection capabilities for various related dyes.

Exosomes have emerged as a promising noninvasive biomarker for early cancer diagnosis due to their ability to carry specific bioinformation related to cancer cells. However, accurate detection of trace amount of cancer-derived exosomes in complex blood remains a significant challenge. Herein, an ultra-highly sensitive SERS sensor, powered by the branched hybridization chain reaction (bHCR) and tetrahedral DNA-based trivalent aptamer (triApt-TDN), has been proposed for precise detection of cancer-derived exosomes.

Photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS) as a highly sensitive and selective trace gas detection technique has extremely broad application in many fields. However, the laser sources currently used in PAS limit the sensing performance. Compared to diode laser and quantum cascade laser, the solid-state laser has the merits of high optical power, excellent beam quality, and wide tuning range.

To realize on stable and real-time monitoring of human activities, novel hydrogels using polyacrylic acid (PAA) and carboxymethyl guar gum (CMGG) were fabricated as wearable and flexible strain or pressure sensors in the presence of lignosulfonate (LS) and Al. Based on the co-existence of metal coordination bonds, hydrogen bonds and ionic interaction in this system, the obtained hydrogels exhibited desirable mechanical properties with good self-recovery ability. The hydrogels displayed good self-adhesion behavior and an ultra-high tensile sensitivity (gauge factor (GF) = 24.
