Summary: Contactless thermometers based on fluorescence intensity ratio have advantages over traditional contact thermometers, but few materials are suitable for high temperature measurement. This study developed Y3GaO6:xPr3+ luminescent thermometers using Pr3+ as the emitter. The parameters for temperature measurement were determined by analyzing the peak intensity ratio at different temperatures. Y3GaO6: 0.01Pr3+ exhibited excellent temperature sensitivity, with a relative sensitivity of 4.09% K-1 in a wide temperature range. The varying luminescence colors of Y3GaO6:xPr3+ allowed for thermometric visualization.

Summary: This study overcomes the sensitivity limit of Boltzmann's thermometers by utilizing seven thermalized Dy3+ excited states in the Lu1.5Y1.5Al5O12 host. By extending the conventional two-thermalized level Boltzmann-type luminescence intensity ratio (LIR) to seven thermalized levels, the approach provides higher energy differences and enables a five times larger sensitivity than the conventional LIR.

Summary: The generation of temperature gradients on nanoparticles by an external magnetic field is crucial in magnetic hyperthermia therapy. However, the low heating power of magnetic nanoparticles at human-allowed conditions limits the technique's implementation. Local intracellular hyperthermia holds promise as an alternative, as it achieves cell death with small amounts of heat at thermosensitive intracellular sites. Reliable intracellular temperature measurements are needed to resolve the discrepancy between experimental and theoretical predictions.

Summary: The increasing demand for computing power has pushed current lithographic methods to their limits, hindering further shrinkage of silicon chips using top-down approaches. The recent chip shortage has highlighted the world's excessive reliance on silicon and emphasized the need for silicon-free computing technologies, preferably at the molecular level. This study demonstrates an all-photonic device based on the emission dynamics of Eu3+ and Tb3+ ions in a Eu3+/Tb3+ co-doped organic-inorganic di-ureasil hybrid, showcasing a temperature-reprogrammable shift from a low-pass filter to a high-pass filter and paving the way for molecular analogs of conventional circuit components.

Summary: Luminescent thermometry enables remote temperature detection and has great potential in future technological applications. We demonstrate for the first time that luminescence thermometry can be combined with a complementary temperature readout related to a different property. By taking advantage of the temperature dependence of magnetic and luminescence features in Single-Molecule Magnets (SMM), we develop original dual magneto-optical molecular thermometers that offer a 10-fold improvement in relative thermal sensitivity over the whole temperature range.

To design new optical glasses, understanding the correlation between their chemical composition and physical properties is crucial. We demonstrate the feasibility of using fluoride phosphate glasses co-doped with Pr3+ and Yb3+ ions for temperature sensing. These glasses have high stability and act as luminescent thermometers without the need for recurring calibration. They exhibit competitive thermal sensitivity and uncertainty, making them promising for cost-effective and accurate temperature probes, advancing photonic technologies.

Summary: It is generally known that the emission intensity of trivalent lanthanide ions (Ln(3+)) increases on cooling, but recent studies have shown that the intensity of Eu3+ photoluminescence decreases on cooling. In this study, the mechanism underlying this anomalous behaviour was investigated using experimental and theoretical approaches. It was found that off-resonance excitation enhanced the Eu3+ emissions with increasing temperature, and the temperature dependence of the emission intensity could be tuned by varying the bandpass of the excitation source.

Summary: Choosing a suitable host matrix for temperature sensing in biomedical applications requires low cytotoxicity, easy synthesis, and the ability to be doped with light-emitting ions. Indium-based halide double perovskites, namely Cs2AgIn0.9Bi0.1Cl6, Cs2Ag0.6Na0.4InCl6, and Cs2Ag0.6Na0.4In0.9Bi0.1Cl6, were selected as host materials to develop lanthanide-based primary thermometers due to their low phonon energy and ease of synthesis. These perovskite samples demonstrated excellent thermal stability and were able to withstand temperatures as high as 500 degrees C. A temperature-dependent green emission of Er3+ was observed in the co-doped samples, exhibiting a relative thermal sensitivity of 1.3% K-1 and an uncertainty in temperature values of 0.3 K. Incorporating these perovskites into L2929 cells resulted in high cell viability, highlighting the advantages of using low-cytotoxicity materials for biological applications.

Summary: The use of machine learning to predict the performance of specific adsorbents in phosphate adsorption shows great promise in saving time and revealing underlying mechanisms. However, the small size of the dataset and insufficient detailed information limits the model training process and the accuracy of results. To address this, the study employs a fuzzing strategy that replaces detailed numeric information with descriptive text messages on the physiochemical properties of adsorbents. This strategy allows the recovery of discarded samples with limited information, leading to accurate prediction of adsorption amount, capacity, and kinetics. The study also finds that phosphate uptake by adsorbents is generally through physisorption, with some involvement of chemisorption. The framework established in this study provides a practical approach for quickly predicting phosphate adsorption performance in urgent scenarios, using easily accessible information.
