EcoEnergy, EarlyView.This review systematically examines how different transition metal compounds—such as binary and multinary metal oxides, halides, sulfides, and salts—exhibit thermochromism based on the d‐electron configurations of their transition metal cations. It focuses on three main mechanisms of thermochromism: phase transition, charge transfer, and bandgap change.

Small Methods, EarlyView.Crowding‐enhanced multiplex immunofluorescence (umIF) provides a versatile strategy for scalable spatial profiling in FFPE tissues. By improving labeling efficiency across direct, one‐step, and two‐step IF formats, umIF enables host‐species‐independent use of primary antibodies and antibody–nanobody complexes, detection of weak targets, and multicycle ...

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.Abstract Background Determination of the serum progesterone (P4) concentration is of high importance in reproductive medicine and may be applied for diagnosing pregnancy in South American camelids. P4 measurements in alpacas and llamas are usually performed using immunoassays, which are time consuming and require appropriate expertise of laboratory ...
