Article Abstract
An innovative metasurface refractive index sensor that operates in the visible to near-infrared (NIR) range is introduced in this work. The sensor has a unique half-ring, half-square split design which allows it to reach dual absorption peaks, resulting in near-perfect absorption values of 99.97% in the visible range and 99.99% in the NIR region. Reaching 530.05 nmRIU-1for the visible spectrum's first peak and 620.24 nmRIU-1for the NIR's second peak, the resonant structure has remarkable refractive index sensitivity. Additionally, the metasurface's highest figure of merit of 13.88 RIUhighlights how effective it is in detecting refractive index. The sensor has a robust linear response to changes in the refractive index and functions efficiently throughout a range of 1 to 1.5. Through the utilization of both surface plasmon resonance and Fabry-Pérot cavity resonances, the device's distinct design improves light-matter interaction, which in turn increases sensitivity and absorption. Finite element method simulations in the frequency domain revealed the optimal geometric parameters for maximum performance. With its high absorption capacity and polarization insensitivity, this unique design provides a flexible platform for use in chemical detection, environmental monitoring, and biosensing. The structure's scalability and tunability further increase its potential for useful sensing solutions in a variety of industries.

Contactless human-machine interfaces (C-HMIs) are revolutionizing artificial intelligence (AI)-driven domains, yet face application limitations due to narrow sensing ranges, environmental fragility, and structural rigidity. To address these obstacles, we developed a flexible photonic C-HMI (Flex-PCI) using flexible visible-blind near-infrared organic photodetectors. In addition to its unprecedented performance across key metrics, including broad detection range (0.

Background and objectives With the continuous presence of microflora, saliva, and frequent intake of coloured food, the colour stability of any aesthetic material may become compromised. Hence, the present study was conducted to evaluate the influence of tea, coffee, and turmeric solutions on the colour stability of commercially available heat-cured and autopolymerizing denture base acrylic resins as well as a soft lining material. Methods Twenty-four rectangular samples measuring 20 mm × 15 mm × 2 mm were prepared for each type of test material.

Fruit and fruit-based products are a valuable source of essential nutrients, critical for food security, and drive economic productivity with minimal inputs. The significant rise in global demand for high-quality imported fruit and fruit-based products reflects a shift in consumer awareness and interest in the products origin and potential health-promoting bioactive compounds. Analytical techniques such as liquid chromatography, gas chromatography, inductively coupled plasma techniques, isotope-ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS), near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy, visible near infrared (VIS-NIR) spectroscopy, hyperspectral imaging (HSI), mid-infrared (MIR) spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, terahertz spectroscopy, dielectric spectroscopy, electronic nose (e-nose), and electronic tongue (e-tongue) coupled with supervised and unsupervised chemometrics can be employed for traceability, authentication, and bioactive profiling of fruit and fruit-based products.

Recently, joint replacement surgery is facing significant challenges of patient dissatisfaction and the need for revision procedures. In-situ monitoring of stress stability at the site of artificial joint replacement during postoperative evaluation is important. Mechanoluminescence (ML), a novel "force to light" conversion technology, may be used to monitor such bio-stress within tissues.
