Scientists have created a new tool to detect tiny changes in our bodies. This tool, called a biosensor, can find very small amounts of a harmful chemical called bisphenol A (BPA). BPA is found in many plastics and can cause problems in our bodies. The biosensor uses special materials called SrTiO3

People's eyes tend to move toward certain spots when learning new tasks. These spots can be important for getting information or for getting rewards.
