    • Adsorptive removal of mercury from water by adsorbents derived from date pits 

      Al-Ghouti M.A.; Da’ana D.; Abu-Dieyeh M.; Khraisheh M. ( Nature Publishing Group , 2019 , Article)
      The current work presented here focuses on the remediation of mercury from water using modified low-cost materials. Modified date pits, low cost, minimal pretreatment steps and locally abundant agricultural waste materials ...

    • Collective osmotic shock in ordered materials 

      Zavala-Rivera, Paul; Channon, Kevin; Nguyen, Vincent; Sivaniah, Easan; Kabra, Dinesh; ... more authors ( Nature Publishing Group , 2012 , Article)
      Osmotic shock in a vesicle or cell is the stress build-up and subsequent rupture of the phospholipid membrane that occurs when a relatively high concentration of salt is unable to cross the membrane and instead an inflow ...

    • Controlled thermal oxidative crosslinking of polymers of intrinsic microporosity towards tunable molecular sieve membranes 

      Song, Qilei; Cao, Shuai; Pritchard, Robyn H.; Ghalei, Behnam; Al-Muhtaseb, Shaheen A.; ... more authors ( Nature Publishing Group , 2014 , Article)
      Organic open frameworks with well-defined micropore (pore dimensions below 2 nm) structure are attractive next-generation materials for gas sorption, storage, catalysis and molecular level separations. Polymers of intrinsic ...

    • Efficient ECG Compression and QRS Detection for E-Health Applications 

      Elgendi, Mohamed;; Mohamed, Amr; Ward, Rabab ( Nature Publishing Group , 2017 , Article)
      Current medical screening and diagnostic procedures have shifted toward recording longer electrocardiogram (ECG) signals, which have traditionally been processed on personal computers (PCs) with high-speed multi-core ...

    • From Zirconium Nanograins to Zirconia Nanoneedles 

      Zalnezhad, E.; Hamouda, A.M.S.; Jaworski, J.; Kim, Young Do ( Nature Publishing Group , 2016 , Article)
      Combinations of three simple techniques were utilized to gradually form zirconia nanoneedles from zirconium nanograins. First, a physical vapor deposition magnetron sputtering technique was used to deposit pure zirconium ...

    • Glandular Morphometrics for Objective Grading of Colorectal Adenocarcinoma Histology Images 

      Awan, Ruqayya; Sirinukunwattana, Korsuk; Epstein, David; Jefferyes, Samuel; Qidwai, Uvais; ... more authors ( Nature Publishing Group , 2017 , Article)
      Determining the grade of colon cancer from tissue slides is a routine part of the pathological analysis. In the case of colorectal adenocarcinoma (CRA), grading is partly determined by morphology and degree of formation ...

    • Hierarchical honeycomb auxetic metamaterials 

      Mousanezhad, Davood; Babaee, Sahab; Ebrahimi, Hamid; Ghosh, Ranajay; Hamouda, Abdelmagid Salem; ... more authors ( Nature Publishing Group , 2015 , Article)
      Most conventional materials expand in transverse directions when they are compressed uniaxially resulting in the familiar positive Poisson’s ratio. Here we develop a new class of two dimensional (2D) metamaterials with ...

    • Instability in CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite solar cells due to elemental migration and chemical composition changes 

      Ahmad, Zubair; Najeeb, Mansoor Ani; Shakoor, R. A.; Alashraf, Abdulla; Al-Muhtaseb, Shaheen A.; ... more authors ( Nature Publishing Group , 2017 , Article)
      Organic-inorganic halide perovskites have rapidly grown as favorable materials for photovoltaic applications, but accomplishing long-term stability is still a major research problem. This work demonstrates a new insight ...

    • Personalized Monitoring and Advance Warning System for Cardiac Arrhythmias 

      Kiranyaz, Serkan; Ince, Turker; Gabbouj, Moncef ( Nature Publishing Group , 2017 , Article)
      Each year more than 7 million people die from cardiac arrhythmias. Yet no robust solution exists today to detect such heart anomalies right at the moment they occur. The purpose of this study was to design a personalized ...
