From Bug to Feature: Harnessing Cross‐Sensitivity for Multiparametric Luminescence Sensing
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Cross‐sensitivity in luminescence sensing is reframed from a limitation into a resource for multiparametric detection. Using ruby microspheres as a model system, cross‐sensitivity is quantitatively assessed and exploited through linear discriminant analysis, enabling simultaneous, correction‐free pressure and temperature sensing with a single ...
