Most of our everyday decisions rely crucially on context: foraging for food in the fridge may be appropriate at home, but not at someone else’s house. Yet the mechanism by which context modulates how we respond to stimuli remains a topic of intense investigation. In order to isolate such decisions experimentally, investigators have employed simple context-based decision-making tasks like the AX...

One consequence of current technological advances is that we can imbue everyday objects such as our fridges, ovens, fires, doors, thermostats, tvs and stereos with processing power. Not only will this enable them to make decisions based on their current state and model of the world about their current behaviour (the oven may automatically turn itself off when there is an excess of smoke) it wil...

Recently, low-dimensional (1D, 2D) nanostructured materials have been attracting more and interest as building blocks for innovative systems. Metal oxide nanowires are one of the most widely used solid-state gas sensors, they simple to make, inexpensive, sensitive a wide range gases volatiles. Unfortunately, their broad sensitivity has price pay, which is very low selectivity. Fortunately, this...
