Background Infrared (IR) radiation was discovered in 1800 by Sir William Herschel while
studying radiation from the sun. One hundred years later, Max Planck was the first to …

A depth camera or 3-dimensional scanner was used as a sensor for traditional methods to
quantify the identified concrete spalling damage in terms of volume. However, to quantify the …

A general synthetic method creates a new class of covalently connected, self‐threaded,
fluorescent molecular probes with figure‐eight topology, an encapsulated deep‐red …

The growing interest in near-infrared (NIR) imaging is explained by the increasing number of
applications in this spectral range, which includes process monitoring and medical imaging …

With the growing development of new contrast agents for optical imaging using near‐
