Room-temperature operation or high-operation temperature (HOT) is essential for mid-wave infrared (MWIR) optoelectronics devices providing low-cost and compact systems for numerous applications. Colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) have emerged as a rising candidate to enable photodetectors to operate at HOT or room temperature and develop the next-generation infrared focal plane array (FPA) imagers. Here, band-engineered heterojunctions are demonstrated to suppress dark current with well-passivated mercury telluride (HgTe) CQDs enabling room-temperature MWIR imaging by single-pixel scanning and 640 × 512 FPA sensitive thermal imaging above 250 K. As a result, the room-temperature detectivity reaches as high as 1.26 × 10 Jones, and the noise equivalent temperature difference (NETD) is as good as 25 mK up to 200 K.

The development of low-cost, high-performance materials with enhanced transparency in the long-wavelength infrared (LWIR) region (800-1250 cm/8-12.5 μm) is essential for advancing thermal imaging and sensing technologies. Traditional LWIR optics rely on costly inorganic materials, limiting their broader deployment.

Getting caregivers to respond to their pain cries is vital for the human baby. Previous studies have shown that certain features of baby cries-the nonlinear phenomena (NLP)-enable caregivers to assess the pain felt by the baby. However, the extent to which these NLP mobilize the autonomic nervous system of an adult listener remains unexplored.

The outdoor storage of wood chips, used in biomass thermal power plants, may lead to different diffuse gaseous emissions. These emissions can contain different molecules, often with a non-negligible odour potential. Despite this need, these solid area sources are particularly complex to be characterised, due to their very high heterogeneity determined by a complex phenomenon of self-heating.

Lanthanide-doped fluoride nanoparticles show great potential for optical thermometry and bioimaging. However, their applications are still constrained by inherent limitations in luminescence intensity and functional versatility. To overcome these challenges, we propose a core-active shell-inert shell nanostructure that integrates multifunctional capabilities within a single platform.

The significant global energy consumption strongly emphasizes the crucial role of net-zero or green structures in ensuring a sustainable future. Considering this aspect, incorporating thermal insulation materials into building components is a well-accepted method that helps to enhance thermal comfort in buildings. Furthermore, integrating architectural components made from solid refuse materials retrieved from the environment can have significant environmental benefits.
