Article Abstract
We designed and experimentally demonstrated an innovative temperature sensor based on Mach-Zehnder interference, which was formed by splicing a piece of no-core fiber (NCF) between two conventional single-mode fibers (SMFs) with a core offset. The intentional misalignment formed a gap that can be filled with ethanol, and temperature sensing was realized using the mode interference between the two distinct optical paths passing through the NCF cladding and the ethanol solution. Although the NCF length barely influenced the sensor sensitivity, it produced a major impact on the free spectral range (FSR) value. As a result, simulations were conducted and an NCF length of 620.7 µm was prepared. The sensor achieved a remarkable temperature sensitivity of 5.3574 nm/°C within the 30-36 °C range. Furthermore, the sensor boasted multiple advantages, including compact structure, high repeatability, and exceptional stability, rendering it a highly effective and versatile tool for precise thermal measurement in cell culture.

Recent evidence indicates that the concentration of ATP remains stable during neuronal activity due to activity-dependent ATP production. However, the mechanisms of activity-dependent ATP production remain controversial. To stabilize the ATP concentration, feedforward mechanisms, which may rely on calcium or the sodium-potassium pump, do not require changes in the ATP and ADP concentrations.

Wearable sweat sensors offer noninvasive health monitoring through multiplexed biomarker analysis, delivering real-time diagnostics with continuous operational capability. However, chronic cutaneous interface hydration during prolonged monitoring induces adhesive delamination phenomena that manifest as signal attenuation, which fundamentally limits their clinical reliability. To address this challenge, we developed a thermodynamically adaptive polymer interface combining three functional components: mussel-inspired catechol moieties for moisture-tolerant adhesion, hydrophobic acrylates ensuring mechanical stability, and N-isopropylacrylamide enabling thermal responsiveness.

Overcoming the persistent challenges of high operating temperatures and poor selectivity in metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) gas sensors, this work enhances defect sites in the sensing material through heterostructure construction and builds mesoporous architectures using MOF-derived carbon skeletons as templates. The synergistic effects of multiple mechanisms significantly improve gas-sensing performance, successfully fabricating a ZnO/PCS flexible room-temperature gas sensor with exceptional room-temperature DMF detection capabilities. The nitrogen-containing porous carbon skeletons (PCSs) template shows a stable mesoporous microstructure with large pore volume.

The thermal runaway of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) releases a mixture of toxic and explosive gases, posing severe safety risks. High-performance sensors are critical for the early detection of these thermal runaway gases (TRGs) to prevent accident escalation. Herein, we systematically investigate Fe-X (X=C, P, S) atomic pair-modified g-CN (FCN, FPN, FSN) monolayers as potential sensing materials for six TRGs (CO, CO, H, CH, CH, and CH) using first-principles calculations.

Rational optimization of the pore size and topology of porous nanocarriers is crucial for improving the loading amount of luminophore and enhancing electrochemiluminescence (ECL) performance. In this study, an equimolar linear ligand replacement strategy was employed to synthesize novel mesoporous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for encapsulating Ru(bpy) (Ru@Zr MOFs) under room temperature without an acid modulator. Ingenious ligand substitution allows precise control of pore size, enabling encapsulation at the single-molecule level within mesoporous cages.
