The Anatomical Link Between Cognition And Perception In Autism
The posterior superior parietal lobule links behavioral inflexibility and perceptual rigidity in patients with autism, scientists say.
Distinguishing Molecular ‘Evil Twins’
A membrane made of 2D layers can catch left-handed molecules while allowing the right-handed ones to be transported away, resulting in high separation efficiency.
Turning Graphene Into A Bacteria Sensor
When combined with microfluidics and antibodies, graphene can become a powerful bacteria biosensor, researchers say.
