Isopropyl alcohol is the best compound, to use on computers, laptops or any other electronic devices. The reason behind why you want to use it to get rid of smoke smells on electronics is that it dries very quickly. If you are using water to clean the electonic devices, it would lead to you destroyi...

In the most basic sense, histamine is nothing but a, natural substance which is originated from our own body and is also present in most of the foods. Histamine will be liberated, when it undergoes stress and allergy. One of the other major role of histamine’s function is neurotransmitter or chemi...

http://www.worldofchemicals.com/News/7883/230x185/squidcover.jpg Research team at Penn State is using squid to make a thermoplastic that can be used in 3-D printing. “Most of the companies looking into this type of material have focused on synthetic plastics. Synthetic plastics are not rapidly de...

Now scientists are reporting that a substance from honeybee hives might contain clues for developing a potential new therapy. They found that the m...

http://www.worldofchemicals.com/News/7879/230x185/burger.jpg UK chemists have developed a method to distinguish horse meat from beef using a benchtop NMR machine. The new test is quicker, cheaper and simpler than the current gold standard used by food safety bodies. In early 2013, the discovery tha...

http://www.worldofchemicals.com/News/7873/230x185/artificial%20skin.jpg An artificial skin that wraps around a prosthetic hand and senses touch and warmth has been developed using traditional electronics. The flexible sensors array was demonstrated in a rat model, where signals were transmitted and...
