Most nonconventional luminogens enjoy good water solubility and biocompatibility, showing unique application prospects in fields like biological imaging. Although clustering-triggered emission (CTE) mechanisms have been proposed to explain such emissions, the have not been thoroughly elucidated, which limits their development and application. Here, the photoluminescence properties of carboxymethyl β-cyclodextrin (CM-β-CD) aqueous solution are utilized to further investigate the effects of changes in concentration, in order to elucidate the emission mechanism through cryo-transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM), small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), molecular interaction analysis, and theoretical calculation. The results showed that the size distribution, morphology, and distance between water aggregates were successfully correlated with the cluster emission centers. The emission mechanism of nonconventional luminogen solutions was more clearly and intuitively elucidated, which has a promoting effect on the emission and application of this field. It is interesting that temperature-dependent emission spectra show the blue-shift phenomenon of PL with increasing excitation wavelengths. Moreover, due to its strong static quenching effect for Fe, CM-β-CD can efficiently detect Fe in mixed-ion aqueous solutions. It provides a strategy to clarify the CTE mechanism of nonconventional luminogen solutions more clearly and its application of mixed-ion detection.

The study of transient and variable events, including novae, active galactic nuclei, and black hole binaries, has historically been a fruitful path for elucidating the evolutionary mechanisms of our universe. The study of such events in the millimeter and submillimeter is, however, still in its infancy. Submillimeter observations probe a variety of materials, such as optically thick dust, which are hard to study in other wavelengths.

Charosphere, a highly active zone between biochar and surrounding soil, is widely present in agricultural and wildfire-affected soils, yet whether reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced within the charosphere remains unclear. Herein, the production and spatiotemporal evolution of charosphere ROS were explored. In situ ROS capture visualized a gradual decrease in ROS production with increasing distance from the biochar/soil interface.

Parkinson's disease (PD), a degenerative disorder of the central nervous system, is commonly diagnosed using functional medical imaging techniques such as single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). In this study, we utilized two SPECT data sets (n = 634 and n = 202) from different hospitals to develop a model capable of accurately predicting PD stages, a multiclass classification task. We used the entire three-dimensional (3D) brain images as input and experimented with various model architectures.

Mature compost can reduce gaseous emissions in composting, but its regulation mechanisms via biotic and abiotic functions are largely unknown. This study used fresh and inactivated mature compost as additives in kitchen waste composting to unveil the relevant mechanisms using metagenomic analysis. Results showed that mature compost reduce gaseous emission by improving physiochemical properties and inoculating functional microbes.

The NorA and TetK efflux pumps mediate resistance to fluoroquinolone and tetracycline antibiotics by actively extruding these compounds and reducing their intracellular concentrations. Consequently, intense research has focused on inhibiting these efflux mechanisms using antimicrobial agents derived from natural or synthetic sources. This study used Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) to analyze the various functional groups present in p-coumaric acid.
