Macroporous poly(vinyl alcohol) cryogels (PVACGs) are physical gels formed via cryogenic processing of polymer solutions. The properties of PVACGs depend on many factors: the characteristics and concentration of PVA, the absence or presence of foreig...
By combining metal nodes with organic linkers we can potentially synthesize millions of possible metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). The fact that we have so many materials opens many exciting avenues but also create new challenges. We simply have too m...

Soft organisms such as earthworms can access confined, narrow spaces, inspiring scientists to fabricate soft robots for in vivo manipulation of cells or tissues and minimally invasive surgery. We report a super-soft and super-elastic magnetic DNA hyd...
The goal of this study is to estimate micro-architectural parameters of cortical porosity such as pore diameter (φ), pore density (ρ) and porosity (ν) of cortical bone from ultrasound frequency dependent attenuation using an artificial neural network...
The SeDeM expert system is used to reveal direct compression (DC) suitability of the active ingredients and excipients in preformulation. In this study, the system was used to predict compressibility of rhodiola extract (RhE) and its mixture with exc...
In this study, Pd@Au nanocubes supported β-cyclodextrins functionalized three-dimensional porous graphene (CDs-3D-PG-Pd@Au NCs) was synthesized using a facile method. β-cyclodextrins (CDs) were beneficial in improving the dispersibility of three-dime...

Employing computer vision (CV) and optimized pulse-coupled neural networks (PCNN), this work automatically quantifies the geometrical attributes of intracortical bone porosity (namely lacunae and canaliculi (L-C), Haversian canals, and resorption cav...
Phthalate esters (PAEs) are a group of serious environmental pollutants, which lead to carcinogenicity or tumorigenicity in human body. In this study, a rapid, sensitive and green method by graphene oxide coated hollow fiber membrane extraction (GO-H...
Axi-symmetric numerical simulations are carried out to study the dynamics of a plug introduced through a mixed-stream injection in supercritical fluid chromatographic columns. The computational fluid dynamics model developed in this work takes into a...
