Appl. Phys. 47, 64–69). https://doi.org/10.1063/1.322296. Widely recognized as the foundation of modern photoacoustics, this influential work has shaped decades of scientific advances and technological developments in the field. This volume honors the enduring legacy of Rosencwaig and Gersho's contribution and explores its profound impact over the past half-century. Topics covered include, but are not limited to: • Fundamental theory and modeling of photoacoustic and optoacoustic phenomena • Photoacoustic and optoacoustic imaging and sensing • Materials and transducers for photoacoustic applications • Time-resolved and frequency-domain techniques • Biomedical and clinical applications • Industrial, environmental, food and security-related implementations • Nanoscale and microscale photoacoustic phenomena • UV-Vis and Near and Mid Infrared spectrocopy and imaging • Hybrid methods combining photoacoustics with other modalities • Instrumentation and signal processing innovations • Historical perspectives and future directions in the field • Thermophysical Properties • Ultrafast Phenomena • Phononics and Diffusion Waves • Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence • Photoacoustic Gas Sensors • Clinical Imaging and Tomography • Photoacoustic Microscopy and Therapy • Cytometry and Endoscopy • Theranostics and Contrast Agents • Non-Destructive Evaluation, Scanning and Depth Profiling • Semiconductors, Electronic and Phononic Bandgap Materials • Low-Dimensional Systems and Nanostructures • Analytical chemistry • Earth-Sciences and Petrochemical Applications • Atmospheric Monitoring Applications Guest Editors Mauro Luciano Baesso, Physics Department, State University of Maringá, PR, Brazil Juan José Alvarado Gil, CINVESTAV Unidad Merida, Merida, Mexico Roberto Li Voti, Department of Basic and Applied Sciences for Engineering, Sapienza University of Rome, Rome, Italy Vitalyi E.
