Abstract
Molecular motors fulfill critical functions within all living beings. Understanding their underlying working principles is therefore of great interest. Here we develop a simple model inspired by the two-component biomolecular motor F_{o}-F_{1} ATP synthase. We analyze its energetics and characterize information flows between the machine's components. At maximum output power we find that information transduction plays a minor role for free-energy transduction. However, when the two components are coupled to different environments (e.g., when in contact with heat baths at different temperatures), we show that information flow becomes a resource worth exploiting to maximize free-energy transduction. Our findings suggest that real-world powerful and efficient information engines could be found in machines whose components are subjected to fluctuations of different strength, since in this situation the benefit gained from using information for work extraction can outweigh the costs of information generation.

Abstract
Luminescent nanothermometry, particularly the one based on ratiometric, has sparked intense research for non-invasive in vivo or intracellular temperature mapping, empowering their uses as diagnosis tools in biomedicine. However, ratiometric detection still suffers from biased sensing induced by wavelength-dependent tissue absorption and scattering, low thermal sensitivity (Sr ), and lack of imaging depth information. Herein, this work constructs an ultrasensitive NIR-II ratiometric nanothermometer with self-calibrating ability for 3D in vivo thermographic imaging, in which temperature-insensitive lanthanide nanocrystals and strongly temperature-quenched Ag2 S quantum dots are co-assembled to form a hybrid nanocomposite material. Precise control over the amount ratio between two sub-materials enables the manipulation of heat-activated back energy transfer from Ag2 S to Yb3+ in lanthanide nanoparticles, thereby rendering Sr up to 7.8% °C-1 at 43.5 °C, and higher than 6.5% °C-1 over the entire physiological temperature range. Moreover, the luminescence intensity ratio between two separated spectral regions within the narrow Yb3+ emission peak is used to determine the depth information of nanothermometers in living mice and correct the effect of tissue depth on 2D thermographic imaging, and therefore allows a proof-of-concept demonstration of accurate 3D in vivo thermographic imaging, constituting a solid step toward the development of advanced ratiometric nanothermometry for biological applications.

Abstract
Based on studies with a fluorescent reporter dye, Mito Thermo Yellow (MTY), and the genetically encoded gTEMP ratiometric fluorescent temperature indicator targeted to mitochondria, the temperature of active mitochondria in four mammalian and one insect cell line was estimated to be up to 15°C above that of the external environment to which the cells were exposed. High mitochondrial temperature was maintained in the face of a variety of metabolic stresses, including substrate starvation or modification, decreased ATP demand due to inhibition of cytosolic protein synthesis, inhibition of the mitochondrial adenine nucleotide transporter and, if an auxiliary pathway for electron transfer was available via the alternative oxidase, even respiratory poisons acting downstream of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) complex I. We propose that the high temperature of active mitochondria is an inescapable consequence of the biochemistry of OXPHOS and is homeostatically maintained as a primary feature of mitochondrial metabolism.

Abstract
Temperature plays a critical role in regulating body mechanisms and indicating inflammatory processes. Local temperature increments above 42 °C are shown to kill cancer cells in tumorous tissue, leading to the development of nanoparticle-mediated thermo-therapeutic strategies for fighting oncological diseases. Remarkably, these therapeutic effects can occur without macroscopic temperature rise, suggesting localized nanoparticle heating, and minimizing side effects on healthy tissues. Nanothermometry has received considerable attention as a means of developing nanothermosensing approaches to monitor the temperature at the core of nanoparticle atoms inside cells. In this study, a label-free, direct, and universal nanoscale thermometry is proposed to monitor the thermal processes of nanoparticles under photoexcitation in the tumor environment. Gold-iron oxide nanohybrids are utilized as multifunctional photothermal agents internalized in a 3D tumor model of glioblastoma that mimics the in vivo scenario. The local temperature under near-infrared photo-excitation is monitored by X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) at the Au L3 -edge (11 919 eV) to obtain their temperature in cells, deepening the knowledge of nanothermal tumor treatments. This nanothermometric approach demonstrates its potential in detecting high nanothermal changes in tumor-mimicking tissues. It offers a notable advantage by enabling thermal sensing of any element, effectively transforming any material into a nanothermometer within biological environments.

Abstract
Luminescence thermometry has emerged as a very versatile optical technique for remote temperature measurements, exhibiting a wide range of applicability spanning from cryogenic temperatures to 2000 K. This technology has found extensive utilization across many disciplines. In the last thirty years, there has been significant growth in the field of luminous thermometry. This growth has been accompanied by the development of temperature read-out procedures, the creation of luminescent materials for very sensitive temperature probes, and advancements in theoretical understanding. This review article primarily centers on luminescent nanoparticles employed in the field of luminescence thermometry. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive survey of the recent literature pertaining to the utilization of lanthanide and transition metal nanophosphors, semiconductor quantum dots, polymer nanoparticles, carbon dots, and nanodiamonds for luminescence thermometry.

Abstract
Despite the great effort made in recent years on lanthanide-based ratiometric luminescent nanothermometers able to provide temperature measurements in water, their design remains challenging. We report on the synthesis and properties of efficient ratiometric nanothermometers that are based on mesoporous stellate nanoparticles (MSN) of ca. 90 nm functionalized with an acetylacetonate (acac) derivative inside the pores and loaded with β-diketonate-Tb3+/Eu3+ complexes able to work in water, in PBS or in cells. Encapsulating a [(Tb/Eu)9(acac)16(μ3-OH)8(μ4-O)(μ4-OH)] complex (Tb/Eu ratio = 19/1 and 9/1) led to hybrid multifunctionalized nanoparticles exhibiting a Tb3+ and Eu3+ characteristic temperature-dependent luminescence with a high rate Tb3+-to-Eu3+ energy transfer. According to theoretical calculations, the modifications of photoluminescence properties and the increase in the pairwise Tb3+-to-Eu3+ energy transfer rate by about 10 times can be rationalized as a change of the coordination number of the Ln3+ sites of the complex from 7 to 8 accompanied by a symmetry evolution from Cs to C4v and a slight shortening of intramolecular Ln3+-Ln3+ distances upon the effect of encapsulation. These nanothermometers operate in the 20-70 °C range with excellent photothermal stability, cyclability and repeatability (>95%), displaying a maximum relative thermal sensitivity of 1.4% °C-1 (at 42.7 °C) in water. Furthermore, they can operate in cells with a thermal sensitivity of 8.6% °C-1 (at 40 °C), keeping in mind that adjusting the calibration for each system is necessary to ensure accurate measurements.

Abstract
The unique tunable properties of glasses make them versatile materials for developing numerous state-of-the-art optical technologies. To design new optical glasses with tailored properties, an extensive understanding of the intricate correlation between their chemical composition and physical properties is mandatory. By harnessing this knowledge, the full potential of vitreous matrices can be unlocked, driving advancements in the field of optical sensors. We herein demonstrate the feasibility of using fluoride phosphate glasses co-doped with trivalent praseodymium (Pr3+) and ytterbium (Yb3+) ions for temperature sensing over a broad range of temperatures. These glasses possess high chemical and thermal stability, working as luminescent primary thermometers that rely on the thermally coupled levels of Pr3+ that eliminate the need for recurring calibration procedures. The prepared glasses exhibit a relative thermal sensitivity and uncertainty at a temperature of 1.0% K-1 and 0.5 K, respectively, making them highly competitive with the existing luminescent thermometers. Our findings highlight that Pr3+-containing materials are promising for developing cost-effective and accurate temperature probes, taking advantage of the unique versatility of these vitreous matrices to design the next generation of photonic technologies.

Abstract
Luminescence (nano)thermometry is a remote sensing technique that relies on the temperature dependency of the luminescence features (e.g., bandshape, peak energy or intensity, and excited state lifetimes and risetimes) of a phosphor to measure temperature. This technique provides precise thermal readouts with superior spatial resolution in short acquisition times. Although luminescence thermometry is just starting to become a more mature subject, it exhibits enormous potential in several areas, e.g., optoelectronics, photonics, micro- and nanofluidics, and nanomedicine. This work reviews the latest trends in the field, including the establishment of a comprehensive theoretical background and standardized practices. The reliability, repeatability, and reproducibility of the technique are also discussed, along with the use of multiparametric analysis and artificial-intelligence algorithms to enhance thermal readouts. In addition, examples are provided to underscore the challenges that luminescence thermometry faces, alongside the need for a continuous search and design of new materials, experimental techniques, and analysis procedures to improve the competitiveness, accessibility, and popularity of the technology.

Abstract
Luminescent thermometry allows the remote detection of the temperature and holds great potential in future technological applications in which conventional systems could not operate. Complementary approaches to measuring the temperature aiming to enhance the thermal sensitivity would however represent a decisive step forward. For the first time, we demonstrate the proof-of-concept that luminescence thermometry could be associated with a complementary temperature readout related to a different property. Namely, we propose to take advantage of the temperature dependence of both magnetic (canonical susceptibility and relaxation time) and luminescence features (emission intensity) found in Single-Molecule Magnets (SMM) to develop original dual magneto-optical molecular thermometers to conciliate high-performance SMM and Boltzmann-type luminescence thermometry. We highlight this integrative approach to concurrent luminescent and magnetic thermometry using an air-stable benchmark SMM [Dy(bbpen)Cl] (H2 bbpen=N,N'-bis(2-hydroxybenzyl)-N,N'-bis(2-methylpyridyl)ethyl-enediamine)) exhibiting Dy3+ luminescence. The synergy between multiparametric magneto-optical readouts and multiple linear regression makes possible a 10-fold improvement in the relative thermal sensitivity of the thermometer over the whole temperature range, compared with the values obtained with the single optical or magnetic devices.

Abstract
Ongoing developments in science and technology require temperature measurements at increasingly higher spatial resolutions. Nanocrystals with temperature-sensitive luminescence are a popular thermometer for these applications offering high precision and remote read-out. Here, we demonstrate that ratiometric luminescence thermometry experiments may suffer from systematic errors in nanostructured environments. We place lanthanide-based luminescent nanothermometers at controlled distances of up to 600 nm from a Au surface. Although this geometry supports no absorption or scattering resonances, distortion of the emission spectra of the thermometers due to the modified density of optical states results in temperature read-out errors of up to 250 K. Our simple analytical model explains the effects of thermometer emission frequencies, experimental equipment, and sample properties on the magnitude of the errors. We discuss the relevance of our findings in several experimental scenarios. Such errors do not always occur, but they are expected in measurements near reflecting interfaces or scattering objects.

Abstract
The trigonal lanthanide complexes LnL (H3L = tris(((3-formyl-5-methylsalicylidene)amino)ethyl)amine) contain three pendant aldehyde groups and are known to react with primary amines. Reacting LnL (Ln = Yb, Lu) with 1-octadecylamine yields the novel aliphatic lanthanide complexes LnL18 (H3L18 = tris(((3-(1-octadecylimine)-5-methylsalicylidene)amino)ethyl)amine) where the three aldehyde groups are transformed to 1-octadecylimine groups. Herein the syntheses, structural characterisation and magnetic properties of LnL18 are presented. The crystal structure of YbL18 shows that the reaction of YbL with 1-octadecylamine leads to only very subtle perturbations in the first coordination sphere of Yb(III), with the Yb(III) ion retaining its heptacoordination and similar bond lengths and angles to the ligand. The three octadecyl chains in each complex were found to direct crystal packing into lipophilic arrays of van der Waals interaction-driven hydrocarbon stacking. The static magnetic properties of YbL18 were compared to those of the non-derivatised complex YbL. The energy level splitting of the 2F7/2 ground multiplet was found, by emission spectroscopy, to be very similar between the derivatised and non-derivatised complexes. A.c. magnetic susceptibility measurements on YbL18 and YbL diluted at 4.8% and 4.2% into the diamagnetic hosts LuL18 and LuL, respectively, revealed that the spin-lattice relaxation of both complexes is governed by a low temperature direct process and a high temperature Raman process. In the high temperature regime, the derivatised complex was also found to have faster spin-lattice relaxation, which is likely due to the increased number of phonons in the octadecyl chains.

Abstract
Cell functions rely on signal transduction-the cascades of molecular interactions and biochemical reactions that relay extracellular signals to the cell interior. Dissecting principles governing the signal transduction process is critical for the fundamental understanding of cell physiology and the development of biomedical interventions. The complexity of cell signaling is, however, beyond what is accessible by conventional biochemistry assays. Thanks to their unique physical and chemical properties, nanoparticles (NPs) have been increasingly used for the quantitative measurement and manipulation of cell signaling. Even though research in this area is still in its infancy, it has the potential to yield new, paradigm-shifting knowledge of cell biology and lead to biomedical innovations. To highlight this importance, we summarize in this review studies that pioneered the development and application of NPs for cell signaling, from quantitative measurements of signaling molecules to spatiotemporal manipulation of cell signal transduction.

Abstract
Lanthanide nanomaterials have garnered significant attention from researchers among the main near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent nanomaterials due to their excellent chemical and fluorescence stability, narrow emission band, adjustable luminescence color, and long lifetime. In recent years, with the preparation, functional modification, and fluorescence improvement of lanthanide materials, great progress has been made in their application in the biomedical field. This review focuses on the latest progress of lanthanide nanomaterials in tumor diagnosis and treatment, as well as the interaction mechanism between fluorescence and biological tissues. We introduce a set of efficient strategies for improving the fluorescence properties of lanthanide nanomaterials and discuss some representative in-depth research work in detail, showcasing their superiority in early detection of ultra-small tumors, phototherapy, and real-time guidance for surgical resection. However, lanthanide nanomaterials have only realized a portion of their potential in tumor applications so far. Therefore, we discuss promising methods for further improving the performance of lanthanide nanomaterials and their future development directions.

Abstract
Materials based on Eu3+ and Tb3+ coordination compounds are of great interest due to their strong red and green luminescence. Appropriate selection of ligands plays a huge role in optimizing their photophysical properties. Another very helpful instrument for such optimization is theoretical modelling, which permits the prediction of the emissive properties of materials through intramolecular energy transfer analysis. The ligands that allow for achieving high efficiency of Eu3+ and Tb3+ emissions include carbacylamidophosphates (CAPh, HL). In this brief review, we summarize recent research for lanthanides CAPh-based coordination compounds of general formulas Cat[LnL]4, [LnL3Q] and [Ln(HL)3(NO3)3], where Cat+ = Cs+, NEt4+, PPh4 + and Q = 1,10-phenanthroline, 2,2-bipyridine or triphenylphosphine oxide, involving the use of thermal gravimetric analysis, X-ray analysis, and absorption and luminescence spectroscopy. We carried out a comparison with selected Ln3+ β-diketonates. Possibilities and developments of theoretical calculations on energy transfer rates are also presented.

Abstract
The generation of temperature gradients on nanoparticles heated externally by a magnetic field is crucially important in magnetic hyperthermia therapy. But the intrinsic low heating power of magnetic nanoparticles, at the conditions allowed for human use, is a limitation that restricts the general implementation of the technique. A promising alternative is local intracellular hyperthermia, whereby cell death (by apoptosis, necroptosis, or other mechanisms) is attained by small amounts of heat generated at thermosensitive intracellular sites. However, the few experiments conducted on the temperature determination of magnetic nanoparticles have found temperature increments that are much higher than the theoretical predictions, thus supporting the local hyperthermia hypothesis. Reliable intracellular temperature measurements are needed to get an accurate picture and resolve the discrepancy. In this paper, we report the real-time variation of the local temperature on γ-Fe2O3 magnetic nanoheaters using a Sm3+/Eu3+ ratiometric luminescent thermometer located on its surface during exposure to an external alternating magnetic field. We measure maximum temperature increments of 8 °C on the surface of the nanoheaters without any appreciable temperature increase on the cell membrane. Even with magnetic fields whose frequency and intensity are still well within health safety limits, these local temperature increments are sufficient to produce a small but noticeable cell death, which is enhanced considerably as the magnetic field intensity is increased to the maximum level tolerated for human use, consequently demonstrating the feasibility of local hyperthermia.

Abstract
Lanthanide-based (Ln3+) luminescent materials are ideal candidates for use in fluorescence intracellular temperature sensing. However, it remains a great challenge to obtain a Ln3+-ratiometric fluorescence thermometer with high sensitivity and quantum yield in an aqueous environment. Herein, a cationic Eu3+-metallopolymer was synthesized via the coordination of Eu(TTA)3·2H2O with an AIE active amphipathic polymer backbone that contains APTMA ((3-acrylamidopropyl) trimethylammonium) and NIPAM (N-isopropylacrylamide) units, which can self-assemble into nanoparticles in water solution with APTMA and NIPAM as the hydrophilic shell. This polymer exhibited highly efficient dual-emissive white-light emission (Φ = 34.3%). Particularly, when the temperature rises, the NIPAM units will transform from hydrophilic to hydrophobic in the spherical core of the nanoparticle, while the VTPE units are moved from inside the nanoparticle to the shell, activating its nonradiative transition channel and thereby decreasing its energy transfer to Eu3+ centers, endowing the Eu3+-metallopolymer with an extremely high temperature sensing sensitivity within the physiological temperature range. Finally, the real-time monitoring of the intracellular temperature variation is further conducted.

Abstract
Vibrational energy exchange between various degrees of freedom is critical to barrier-crossing processes in proteins. Hemeproteins are well suited for studying vibrational energy exchange in proteins because the heme group is an efficient photothermal converter. The released energy by heme following photoexcitation shows migration in a protein moiety on a picosecond timescale, which is observed using time-resolved ultraviolet resonance Raman spectroscopy. The anti-Stokes ultraviolet resonance Raman intensity of a tryptophan residue is an excellent probe for the vibrational energy in proteins, allowing the mapping of energy flow with the spatial resolution of a single amino acid residue. This Perspective provides an overview of studies on vibrational energy flow in proteins, including future perspectives for both methodologies and applications.

Abstract
Cell temperature monitoring is of great importance to uncover temperature-dependent intracellular events and regulate cellular functions. However, it remains a great challenge to precisely probe the localized temperature status in living cells. Herein, we report a strategy for in situ temperature mapping on an immune cell membrane for the first time, which was achieved by using the lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles. The nanothermometer was designed to label the cell membrane by combining metabolic labeling and click chemistry and can leverage ratiometric upconversion luminescence signals to in situ sensitively monitor temperature variation (1.4% K-1). Moreover, a purpose-built upconversion hyperspectral microscope was utilized to synchronously map temperature changes on T cell membrane and visualize intracellular Ca2+ influx. This strategy was able to identify a suitable temperature status for facilitating thermally stimulated calcium influx in T cells, thus enabling high-efficiency activation of immune cells. Such findings might advance understandings on thermally dependent biological processes and their regulation methodology.

Abstract
The effect of ligands' energy levels on thermal dependence of lanthanide emission was examined to create new molecular nanothermometers. A series of Ln2Ga8L8'L8″ metallacrowns (shorthand Ln2L8'), where Ln = Gd3+, Tb3+, or Sm3+ (H3L' = salicylhydroxamic acid (H3shi), 5-methylsalicylhydroxamic acid (H3mshi), 5-methoxysalicylhydroxamic acid (H3moshi), and 3-hydroxy-2-naphthohydroxamic acid (H3nha)) and H2L″ = isophthalic acid (H2iph), was synthesized and characterized. Within the series, ligand-centered singlet state (S1) energy levels ranged from 23,300 to 27,800 cm-1, while triplet (T1) energy levels ranged from 18,150 to 21,980 cm-1. We demonstrated that the difference between T1 levels and relevant energies of the excited 4G5/2 level of Sm3+ (17,800 cm-1) and 5D4 level of Tb3+ (20,400 cm-1) is the major parameter controlling thermal dependence of the emission intensity via the back energy transfer mechanism. However, when the energy difference between S1 and T1 levels is small (below 3760 cm-1), the S1 → T1 intersystem crossing (and its reverse, S1 ← T1) mechanism contributes to the thermal behavior of metallacrowns. Both mechanisms affect Ln3+-centered room-temperature quantum yields with values ranging from 2.07(6)% to 31.2(2)% for Tb2L8' and from 0.0267(7)% to 2.27(5)% for Sm2L8'. The maximal thermal dependence varies over a wide thermal range (ca. 150-350 K) based on energy gaps between relevant ligand-based and lanthanide-based electronic states. By mixing Tb2moshi8' with Sm2moshi8' in a 1:1 ratio, an optical thermometer with a relative thermal sensitivity larger than 3%/K at 225 K was created. Other temperature ranges are also accessible with this approach.

The coordination compounds presented the general formula [Eu(β-dik)3(RcBPO)], where β-dik stands for 2-thenoyltrifluoroacetonate (tta), 3-benzoyl-1,1,1-trifluoroacetone (btf), 2-dibenzoylmethanate (dbm), 2-acetyl-1,3-indandionate (aind), and 2-benzoyl-1,3-indandionate (bind), and RcBPO stands for 1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphoryl)ruthenocene. The [Eu(aind)3(RcBPO)] complex crystallizes in a monoclinic Cc non-centrosymmetric space group with the europium site environment, assuming a bicapped trigonal prism coordination polyhedron with the symmetry point group close to C2v. Photoluminescent properties for the solid-state samples were described in terms of excitation, emission, lifetime decay curves, and intrinsic and overall quantum yields. The replacement of the two coordinated H2O molecules by the RcBPO ancillary ligand leads to great enhancements of the overall quantum yields (QEuL), with the minimum increment by a factor of 5 for the case of [Eu(btf)3(RcBPO)] and the maximum enhancement of 270 times for the case of the [Eu(dbm)3(RcBPO)] complex. In addition, theoretical calculations were carried out to model the spectroscopic properties of the investigated compounds. To obtain theoretical Judd-Ofelt parameters (Ωλ, λ = 2, 4, and 6) and intramolecular energy transfer rates, the JOYSpectra web platform was employed using the structure obtained from density functional theory calculations. Hence, a rate equation model provided theoretical overall quantum yields, which are in great agreement with measured data.

Abstract
Precise sensing of cellular temperature is one significant yet challenge task for studying miscellaneous biological processes. Herein, we report a light-controlled DNA nanothermometer that allow for real-time thermal sensing in extracellular microscope with high spatiotemporal resolution. The light-controlled DNA nanothermometer three key elements: a thermal-sensitive molecular beacon (MB) labelled with fluorophore Cy5 and Cy3 at its 5' and 3' termini, an inhibitor strand containing two photocleavable linkers (pc-linker), and a biotin modified strand, which could modify this three-strand hybridization complex onto the cell surface. Upon exposing to UV light irradiation, the light-controlled DNA nanothermometer could be remotely activated and enable to perform highly sensitive and practical ratiometric temperature sensing. Meanwhile, the light-controlled DNA nanothermometer could conduct temperature sensing in the extracellular microscope and demonstrates desirable sensitivity, excellent reversibility, and quantitative ability for extracellular temperature measurement. Therefore, this light-controlled DNA can serve as a promising tool for elucidating thermal-related cell physiological and pathological processes.

Abstract
Thermal resolution (also referred to as temperature uncertainty) establishes the minimum discernible temperature change sensed by luminescent thermometers and is a key figure of merit to rank them. Much has been done to minimize its value via probe optimization and correction of readout artifacts, but little effort was put into a better exploitation of calibration datasets. In this context, this work aims at providing a new perspective on the definition of luminescence-based thermometric parameters using dimensionality reduction techniques that emerged in the last years. The application of linear (Principal Component Analysis) and non-linear (t-distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding) transformations to the calibration datasets obtained from rare-earth nanoparticles and semiconductor nanocrystals resulted in an improvement in thermal resolution compared to the more classical intensity-based and ratiometric approaches. This, in turn, enabled precise monitoring of temperature changes smaller than 0.1 °C. The methods here presented allow choosing superior thermometric parameters compared to the more classical ones, pushing the performance of luminescent thermometers close to the experimentally achievable limits.

Abstract
Despite improved sensitivity of nanothermometers, direct observation of heat transport inside single cells has remained challenging for the lack of high-speed temperature imaging techniques. Here, we identified insufficient temperature resolution under short signal integration time and slow sensor kinetics as two major bottlenecks. To overcome the limitations, we developed B-gTEMP, a nanothermometer based on the tandem fusion of mNeonGreen and tdTomato fluorescent proteins. We visualized the propagation of heat inside intracellular space by tracking the temporal variation of local temperature at a time resolution of 155 μs and a temperature resolution 0.042 °C. By comparing the fast in situ temperature dynamics with computer-simulated heat diffusion, we estimated the thermal diffusivity of live HeLa cells. The present thermal diffusivity in cells was about 1/5.3 of that of water and much smaller than the values reported for bulk tissues, which may account for observations of heterogeneous intracellular temperature distributions.

Abstract
In situ and continuous monitoring of thermal effects is essential for understanding photo-induced catalytic processes at catalyst's surfaces. However, existing techniques are largely unable to capture the rapidly changing temperatures occurring in sub-μm layers at liquid-solid interfaces exposed to light. To address this, a sensing system based on a gold-coated conventional single-mode optical fiber with a tilted fiber Bragg grating inscribed in the fiber core is proposed and demonstrated. The spectral transmission from these devices is made up of a dense comb of narrowband resonances that can differentiate between localized temperatures rapid changes at the catalyst's surface and those of the environment. By using the gold coating of the fiber as an electrode in an electrochemical reactor and exposing it to light, thermal effects in photo-induced catalysis at the interface can be decoded with a temperature resolution of 0.1 °C and a temporal resolution of 0.1 sec, without perturbing the catalytic operation that is measured simultaneously. As a demonstration, stable and reproducible correlations between the light-to-heat conversion and catalytic activities over time were measured for two different catalysis processes (linear and nonlinear). These kinds of sensing applications are ideally suited to the fundamental qualities of optical fiber sensors, such as their compact size, flexible shape, and remote measurement capability, thereby opening the way for various thermal monitoring in hard-to-reach spaces and rapid catalytic reaction processes.

Abstract
Minimally invasive monitoring of brain activity is essential not only to gain understanding on the working principles of the brain, but also for the development of new diagnostic tools. In this perspective we describe how brain thermometry could be an alternative to conventional methods (e.g., magnetic resonance or nuclear medicine) for the acquisition of thermal images of the brain with enough spatial and temperature resolution to track brain activity in minimally perturbed animals. We focus on the latest advances in transcranial luminescence thermometry introducing a critical discussion on its advantages and shortcomings. We also anticipate the main challenges that the application of luminescent nanoparticles for brain thermometry will face in next years. With this work we aim to promote the development of near infrared luminescence for brain activity monitoring, which could also benefit other research areas dealing with the brain and its illnesses.

Abstract
The 1 : 1 : 1 reaction of YbCl3·6H2O, K3[Co(CN)6] and bpyO2 in H2O has provided access to a complex with formula [YbCo(CN)6(bpyO2)2(H2O)3]·4H2O (1) in a very good yield while its structure has been determined by single-crystal X-ray crystallography and characterised based on elemental analyses and IR spectra. Magnetic susceptibility studies showed the complex to be a field induced single molecule magnet, as confirmed by μ-SQUID measurements. CASSCF calculations confirm the existence of a mJ = 7/2 ground state, with rather large transverse components, responsible for the fast relaxation characteristic of compound 1 at zero DC field, which is reduced upon application of DC fields. Moreover, a combination of luminescence studies along with CASSCF calculation allows the identification of the band structure of the complex, which is ultimately related to its electronic properties. Compound 1 operates as a luminescent thermometer in the 125-300 K range with a maximum relative thermal sensitivity of ≈0.1% K-1 at 180 K.

Abstract
Temperature as a typical parameter, which influences the status of living creatures, is essential to life activities and indicates the initial cellular activities. In recent years, the rapid development of nanotechnology provides a new tool for studying temperature variation at the micro- or nano-scales. In this study, an important phenomenon is observed at the cell level using luminescent probes to explore intracellular temperature changes, based on Yb-Er doping nanoparticles with special upconversion readout mode and intensity ratio signals (I525 and I545 ). Further optimization of this four-layer core-shell ratio nanothermometer endows it with remarkable characteristics: super photostability, sensitivity, and protection owing to the shell. Thus this kind of thermal probe has the property of anti-interference to the complex chemical environment, responding exclusively to temperature, when it is used in liquid and cells to reflect external temperature changes at the nanoscale. The intracellular temperature of living RAW and CAOV3 cells are observed to have a resistance mechanism to external stimuli and approach a more favorable temperature, especially for CAOV3 cells with good heat resistance, with the intracellular temperature 4.8 °C higher than incubated medium under 5 °C environment, and 4.4 °C lower than the medium under 60 °C environment.

Abstract
Luminescent thermometers provide a non-contact method of probing temperature with high sensitivity and response speed at the nanoscale. Synergistic photoluminescence from different activators can realize high sensitivity for luminescent thermometers by finely selecting ions with specific crystallographic sites. Herein, the more temperature-sensitive Mn4+ and the less-sensitive Eu3+ (or Sm3+) activators are co-doped into a Ca2GdSbO6 matrix to form an effective thermometer, where Mn4+ and Eu3+ (or Sm3+) ions occupy the Sb5+ and Gd3+ sites, respectively. The co-doping of Eu3+ ions or Sm3+ ions leads to lattice expansion of Ca2GdSbO6 matrix and a tuned narrow emission from deep-red to orangish-red. According to the ratio of luminescence intensity, the maximal Sa and Sr values are 0.19 K-0 (347 K) and 1.38% K-( (420 K) for Ca2GdSbO6:Mn4+/Eu3+ probe and 0.26 K-p (363 K) and 1.55% K-( (430 K) for Ca2GdSbO6:Mn4+/Sm3+ probe thermometers, respectively. In addition, thermometers based on Mn4+ emission lifetimes can provide the highest relative sensitivity of 1.47% K-s at 425 K. Thus, the highly-temperature-sensitive Ca2GdSbO6:Mn4+/(Eu3+ or Sm3+) phosphor is a promising candidate for practical luminescence thermometers.

The application of nanomaterials made of rare earth elements within biomedical sciences continues to make significant progress. The rare earth elements, also called the lanthanides, play an essential role in modern life through materials and electronics. As we learn more about their utility, function, and underlying physics, we can contemplate extending their applications to biomedicine. This particularly applies to diagnosis and radiation therapy due to their relatively unique features, such as an ultra-wide Stokes shift in the luminescence, variable magnetism and potentially tunable properties, due to the library of lanthanides available and their multivalent oxidation state chemistry. The ability to prepare nanomaterials of relatively smaller sizes has increased the likelihood of use in vivo. In this review, we summarize the different emerging applications of nanoparticles with rare earth elements as the host or doped elements for biomedical applications in the past three to four years, especially in the area of imaging and disease diagnosis. Researchers have made progress in utilizing surfactants and polymers to modify the surface of lanthanide nanoparticles to enhance biocompatibility. At the same time, specific antibodies and proteins can also be conjugated to these nanoparticles to increase targeting efficiency for specific tumor models. Finally, in the near-infrared II imaging window, lanthanide nanoparticles have been shown to exhibit extraordinary bright emission, which is an exciting development for image-guided surgery.

Abstract
Conventional thermal biology has elucidated the physiological function of temperature homeostasis through spontaneous thermogenesis and responses to variations in environmental temperature in organisms. In addition to research on individual physiological phenomena, the molecular mechanisms of fever and physiological events such as temperature-dependent sex determination have been intensively addressed. Thermosensitive biomacromolecules such as heat shock proteins (HSPs) and transient receptor potential (TRP) channels were systematically identified, and their sophisticated functions were clarified. Complementarily, recent progress in intracellular thermometry has opened new research fields in thermal biology. High-resolution intracellular temperature mapping has uncovered thermogenic organelles, and the thermogenic functions of brown adipocytes were ascertained by the combination of intracellular thermometry and classic molecular biology. In addition, intracellular thermometry has introduced a new concept, "thermal signaling", in which temperature variation within biological cells acts as a signal in a cascade of intriguing biological events.

Abstract
Ratiometric luminescence thermometry with trivalent lanthanide ions and their 4fn energy levels is an emerging technique for non-invasive remote temperature sensing with high spatial and temporal resolution. Conventional ratiometric luminescence thermometry often relies on thermal coupling between two closely lying energy levels governed by Boltzmann's law. Despite its simplicity, Boltzmann thermometry with two excited levels allows precise temperature sensing, but only within a limited temperature range. While low temperatures slow down the nonradiative transitions required to generate a measurable population in the higher excitation level, temperatures that are too high favour equalized populations of the two excited levels, at the expense of low relative thermal sensitivity. In this work, we extend the concept of Boltzmann thermometry to more than two excited levels and provide quantitative guidelines that link the choice of energy gaps between multiple excited states to the performance in different temperature windows. By this approach, it is possible to retain the high relative sensitivity and precision of the temperature measurement over a wide temperature range within the same system. We demonstrate this concept using YAl3(BO3)4 (YAB):Pr3+, Gd3+ with an excited 6PJ crystal field and spin-orbit split levels of Gd3+ in the UV range to avoid a thermal black body background even at the highest temperatures. This phosphor is easily excitable with inexpensive and powerful blue LEDs at 450 nm. Zero-background luminescence thermometry is realized by using blue-to-UV energy transfer upconversion with the Pr3+-Gd3+ couple upon excitation in the visible range. This method allows us to cover a temperature window between 30 and 800 K.

Abstract
Rapid and accurate detection of phosphate (Pi) in complex biological fluid is of critical importance for timely warning of Pi accumulation and monitoring Pi related pathological process. Up to date, various luminescent probes have been developed for Pi determination in aqueous media. However, the huge obstacles of the current probes suffer from the inherent issues such as time-consuming, tedious preparation and unavoidable background interference during Pi detection. To circumvent this limitation, we proposed a universal and facile strategy to fabricate a novel sensitizer-Ln3+@surfactant micelle probe with time-resolved luminescent (TRL) superiority through the self-assembly of sensitizer, Ln3+ and surfactant. Through this design, the sensitizer-Ln3+ chelate can be encapsulated into the surfactant constructed micelle and Ln3+ luminescence can be substantially lighted up through the effective energy transfer from the coordinated sensitizer and the assistance of Triton X-100. Such high TRL signal can be sensitively and specifically quenched by Pi, which was attributed to the specific coordination competition between sensitizer and Pi towards Ln3+. Benefitting from the background-free interference and highly sensitive TRL response of the sensitizer-Ln3+@surfactant probe, we achieved the rapid, selective and sensitive detection of Pi in the range of 0.5-120 μM with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.19 μM. Furthermore, the accuracy of the proposed method based on the Ln3+ involved micelle probes was further verified through the quantitation of Pi in real biological samples.

Abstract
Metal-coordinated supramolecular nanoassemblies have recently attracted extensive attention as materials for cancer theranostics. Owing to their unique physicochemical properties, metal-coordinated supramolecular self-assemblies can bridge the boundary between traditional inorganic and organic materials. By tailoring the structural components of the metal ions and binding ligands, numerous multifunctional theranostic nanomedicines can be constructed. Metal-coordinated supramolecular nanoassemblies can modulate the tumor microenvironment (TME), thus facilitating the development of TME-responsive nanomedicines. More importantly, TME-responsive organic-inorganic hybrid nanomaterials can be constructed in vivo by exploiting the metal-coordinated self-assembly of a variety of functional ligands, which is a promising strategy for enhancing the tumor accumulation of theranostic molecules. In this review, recent advancements in the design and fabrication of metal-coordinated supramolecular nanomedicines for cancer theranostics are highlighted. These supramolecular compounds are classified according to the order in which the coordinated metal ions appear in the periodic table. Furthermore, the prospects and challenges of metal-coordinated supramolecular self-assemblies for both technical advances and clinical translation are discussed. In particular, the superiority of TME-responsive nanomedicines for in vivo coordinated self-assembly is elaborated, with an emphasis on strategies that enhance the accumulation of functional components in tumors for an ideal theranostic outcome.

Abstract
The temperature-sensitive luminescence of nanoparticles enables their application as remote thermometers. The size of these nanothermometers makes them ideal to map temperatures with a high spatial resolution. However, high spatial resolution mapping of temperatures >373 K has remained challenging. Here, we realize nanothermometry with high spatial resolutions at elevated temperatures using chemically stable upconversion nanoparticles and confocal microscopy. We test this method on a microelectromechanical heater and study the temperature homogeneity. Our experiments reveal distortions in the luminescence spectra that are intrinsic to high-resolution measurements of samples with nanoscale photonic inhomogeneities. In particular, the spectra are affected by the high-power excitation as well as by scattering and reflection of the emitted light. The latter effect has an increasing impact at elevated temperatures. We present a procedure to correct these distortions. As a result, we extend the range of high-resolution nanothermometry beyond 500 K with a precision of 1-4 K. This work will improve the accuracy of nanothermometry not only in micro- and nanoelectronics but also in other fields with photonically inhomogeneous substrates.

Abstract
Nanoparticle-mediated thermal treatments have demonstrated high efficacy and versatility as a local anticancer strategy beyond traditional global hyperthermia. Nanoparticles act as heating generators that can trigger therapeutic responses at both the cell and tissue level. In some cases, treatment happens in the absence of a global temperature rise, damaging the tumor cells even more selectively than other nanotherapeutic strategies. The precise determination of the local temperature in the vicinity of such nanoheaters then stands at the heart of thermal approaches to better adjust the therapeutic thermal onset and reduce potential toxicity-related aspects. Herein, we describe an experimental procedure by X-ray absorption spectroscopy, which directly and accurately infers the local temperature of gold-based nanoparticles, single and hybrid nanocrystals, upon laser photoexcitation, revealing significant nanothermal gradients. Such nanothermometric methodology based on the temperature-dependency of atomic parameters of nanoparticles can be extended to any nanosystem upon remote hyperthermal conditions.

The microstructure and morphology were investigated by XRPD, TEM and gas porosimetry. The luminescence properties were studied by excitation and emission spectra, quantum yield and decay times. Thermoluminescence measurements were performed to evaluate the activation energy, traps redistribution and frequency factor. Limitation in the energy transfer between dopant ions in the small particles, traps depth and surface defects were considered and investigated as responsible for the quenching of persistent luminescence.

Abstract
Luminescence thermal stability is a major figure of merit of lanthanide-doped nanoparticles playing an essential role in determining their potential applications in advanced optics. Unfortunately, considering the intensification of multiple electron-vibration interactions as temperature increases, luminescence thermal quenching of lanthanide-doped materials is generally considered to be inevitable. Recently, the emergence of thermally enhanced upconversion luminescence in lanthanide-doped nanoparticles seemed to challenge this stereotype, and the research on this topic rapidly aroused wide attention. While considerable efforts have been made to explore the origin of this phenomenon, the key mechanism of luminescence enhancement is still under debate. Here, to sort out the context of this intriguing finding, the reported results on this exciting topic are reviewed, and the corresponding enhancement mechanisms as proposed by different researchers are summarized. Detailed analyses are provided to evaluate the contribution of the most believed "surface-attached moisture desorption" process on the overall luminescence enhancement of lanthanide-doped nanoparticles at elevated temperatures. The impacts of other surface-related processes and shell passivation on the luminescence behaviour of the lanthanide-doped materials are also elaborated. Lack of standardization in the reported data and the absence of important experimental information, which greatly hinders the cross-checking and reanalysis of the results, is emphasized as well. On the foundation of these discussions, it is realized that the thermal-induced luminescence enhancement is a form of recovery process against the strong luminescence quenching in the system, and the enhancement degree is closely associated with the extent of luminescence loss induced by various quenching effects beforehand.

Abstract
Realizing multicolored luminescence in two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials would afford potential for a range of next-generation nanoscale optoelectronic devices. Moreover, combining fine structured spectral line emission and detection may further enrich the studies and applications of functional nanomaterials. Herein, a lanthanide doping strategy has been utilized for the synthesis of 2D ZnSe:Er3+ nanosheets to achieve fine-structured, multicolor luminescence spectra. Simultaneous upconversion and downconversion emission is realized, which can cover an ultrabroadband optical range, from ultraviolet through visible to the near-infrared region. By investigating the low-temperature fine structure of emission spectra at 4 K, we have observed an abundance of sublevel electronic energy transitions, elucidating the electronic structure of Er3+ ions in the 2D ZnSe nanosheet. As the temperature is varied, these nanosheets exhibit tunable multicolored luminescence under 980 and 365 nm excitation. Utilizing the distinct sublevel transitions of Er3+ ions, the developed 2D ZnSe:Er3+ optical temperature sensor shows high absolute (15.23% K-1) and relative sensitivity (8.61% K-1), which is superior to conventional Er3+-activated upconversion luminescent nanothermometers. These findings imply that Er3+-doped ZnSe nanomaterials with direct and wide band gap have the potential for applications in future low-dimensional photonic and sensing devices at the 2D limit.
