Researchers have successfully synthesized a new material that exhibits self-recoverable near-infrared (NIR) mechanoluminescence, a property useful for biomedical imaging and other applications. The material's mechanism is attributed to its piezoelectricity, which generates excited states in Cr³⁺ ions upon mechanical stimulation.

Researchers propose an indirect optical method for determining internal temperatures of opaque packed beds based on phosphor thermometry. Ray tracing simulations enable simultaneous multi-point measurements, allowing for accurate full temperature distribution within the bed.
A large-scale study found exposure to low and high biothermal stress during pregnancy linked to a higher risk of babies being born too small or large for their gestational ages. The study also identified specific subpopulations at higher risk, including non-Caucasian people and those aged 35 and above.
