Ultraviolet Signals in Blue Tits

This article highlights key contributors who have significantly advanced the field of spectroscopy in recent decades.

A team of researchers from the International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory (INL) in Braga, Portugal, has developed an autonomous Internet of Things (IoT) spectral sensing system designed to monitor grape ripening in real-time. The study, led by Hugo M. Oliveira, Alessio Tugnolo, Natacha Fontes, Carlos Marques, and Álvaro Geraldes, was published in Computers and Electronics in Agriculture and introduces a novel approach to non-destructive, in-situ optical monitoring of grape maturity.

A new study examines the role of Internet of Things (IoT) technology in fostering sustainable urban development. Through a systematic review of 73 publications, researchers highlight how IoT-enabled sensors improve air quality, transportation, disaster management, and resource efficiency in smart cities.

Researchers have explored the Raman spectral properties of HgPSe3 thin flakes, revealing their structural uniformity and potential for high-performance ultraviolet-to-visible (UV-Vis) photodetectors. Their study, published in the Chinese Journal of Physics, highlights the material’s strong optoelectronic properties and fast response times.
