When relearning words, patients with semantic dementia (SD) exhibit a characteristic rigidity, including a failure to generalise names to untrained exemplars of trained concepts. This has been attributed to an over-reliance on the medial temporal reg...

Synthesis of covalently linked molecular bridges between silicon electrodes in CMOS-based arrays of vertical Si/SiO 2/Si nanogaps. Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 50(37), 8722-8726. https://doi.org/10.1002/anie.201102791

Silicon nanogaps were bridged in situ by grafting 4-ethynylbenzaldehyde to activate the electrodes and coupling 2,6-diaminoanthra-9,10-quinone to link the coatings. The bridged structures exhibit currents of 11-14 nA at 1 V. The process is reversed b...
