The dynamic time-gating anticounterfeiting based on phosphorescence materials is the current hot topic of research. However, the short change time from nanosecond-level fluorescence false information to μs-level fluorescence correct information makes it easily deciphered just by turning off ultraviolet (UV) light. Herein, we first reported a new type of minute-level dynamic time-gating anticounterfeiting technology based on the ethanol-induced phase transition between the red-emitting CsMnBr crystals and green-emitting CsMnBr crystals. Our results show that the dissolution of MnBr·2HO from CsMnBr into ethanol triggers the phase transition. Moreover, the time of phase transition can be adjusted by mixing with different (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) concentrations. By using CsMnBr and APTES-CsMnBr with different phase-transition times, the true information on "SEO" can be designed to show only in the conditions of specific stimulus (ethanol) and specific time range. Otherwise, the false information on "SEU" or "888" is shown. In comparison to previously reported dynamic time-gating anticounterfeiting technology based on phosphorescence materials, the current reported minute-level dynamic time-gating anticounterfeiting technology based on phase transition increased the difficulty of decryption. Moreover, the combination of nontoxic fluorescence materials and daily life available stimulus (ethanol) makes the current anticounterfeiting technology have great practical value.

Non-invasive glucose monitoring (NIGM) represents an attractive alternative to finger pricking for blood glucose assessment and management of diabetes. Nevertheless, current NIGM techniques do not measure glucose concentrations in blood but rely on indirect bulk measurement of glucose in interstitial fluid, where glucose is diluted and glucose dynamics are different from those in the blood, which impairs NIGM accuracy. Here we introduce a new biosensor, termed depth-gated mid-infrared optoacoustic sensor (DIROS), which allows, for the first time, non-invasive glucose detection in blood-rich volumes in the skin.

Dynamic control of multi-photon upconversion with rich and tunable emission colors is stimulating extensive interest in both fundamental research and frontier applications of lanthanide based materials. However, manipulating photochromic upconversion towards color-switchable emissions of a single lanthanide emitter is still challenging. Here, we report a conceptual model to realize the spatiotemporal control of upconversion dynamics and photochromic evolution of Er through interfacial energy transfer (IET) in a core-shell nanostructure.

Raman spectroscopy is a powerful analytical tool to provide new insights in the working and deactivation principles of solid catalysts. Intense fluorescence can obscure Raman spectra to the extent that they become uninterpretable. Time-gated Raman spectroscopy, based on pulsed excitation and time-gated detection, suppresses background fluorescence based on its slower time dynamics compared to Raman scattering.

Super-resolution in two-photon excitation (2PE) microscopy offers new approaches for visualizing the deep inside the brain functions at the nanoscale. In this study, we developed a novel 2PE stimulated-emission-depletion (STED) microscope with all-synchronized picosecond pulse light sources and time-gated fluorescence detection, namely, all-pulsed 2PE-gSTED microscopy. The implementation of time-gating is critical to excluding undesirable signals derived from brain tissues.
