The time-resolved spectra of single-bubble sonoluminescence (SBSL) in sulfuric acid have been observed with a streak camera after a spectrograph. The spectral center evolves from infrared to ultraviolet gradually within a SBSL duration, which corresponds to an increase of temperature. The peak temperature within one sonoluminescence (SL) duration is 5-9 times higher than the average temperature based on the average spectrum in our experiment. Furthermore, the ratio of the peak temperature to average temperature increases with the increase of driving pressure. The SBSL flash dies out after a dramatic heating-up, and there is no cooling procedure observed at the time resolution of 110 SL duration, which is incompatible with the radius-related adiabatic heating model as the mechanism of SBSL.

Time-resolved data acquisition is crucial for compositional analysis using Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS). It can be managed by adjusting the delay time and gate width of the spectrometer. This study describes the compositional analysis of molybdenum (Mo) ore utilizing charge coupled device (CCD) and intensified charge-coupled device (ICCD) based LIBS systems.

Phytochromes are photosensor proteins found in plants, fungi, and bacteria. They photoswitch between red light absorbing (Pr) and far-red light absorbing (Pfr) states. Thermal reversion in the dark, however, is an equally important factor in controlling their signaling levels.

Microbial co-cultures provide significant advantages over commonly used axenic cultures in biotechnological processes, including increased productivity and access to novel natural products. However, differentiated quantification of the microorganisms in co-cultures remains challenging using conventional measurement techniques. To address this, a fluorescence-based approach was developed to enable the differentiated online monitoring of microbial growth in co-cultures.

Aggregation of the amyloid-β peptide (Aβ) characterises and probably causes Alzheimer's disease. While lipid-mediated Aβ aggregation has been extensively studied for the 40-residue variant Aβ40, the interaction of the 42-residue variant Aβ42 with membranes has received less attention. Our time-resolved infrared spectra demonstrate that Aβ42 oligomers preserve their β-sheet structure in aqueous solution also in a membrane-mimicking environment consisting of either 1-hexadecanoyl-2-(9Z-octadecenoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC, zwitterionic) or 1-hexadecanoyl-2-(9Z-octadecenoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phospho-(1'racglycerol) (POPG, anionic) vesicles.

The photophysical properties of two new Bodipy dimers are investigated using a variety of techniques, including steady-state UV-vis absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy, femtosecond and nanosecond transient absorption spectroscopy, and pulse laser-excited time-resolved electron paramagnetic resonance (TREPR) spectroscopic methods. The dimers are formed by the Bodipy units rigidly linked by the orthogonal phenylene bridge. One of the dimers is composed of iodinated units, and the other is not.
