All dreams, nightmares and night terrors are all caused by different chemicals being released while you are sleeping. The way you fall asleep is through the activation of the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Sleeping is considered as a default state in us but you can’t sleep when ever you required. There are two reasons behind this is. One reason is your body will not support when your brain is active. Read More

The annual worldwide consumption of the four major types of residential insecticide products are — aerosols, mosquito coils, liquid vaporizers, and vaporizing mats. Mosquito coils are burned indoors and outdoors in regions like Asia, Africa, and South America. Mosquito coils consist of an insecticide/repellant, organic fillers capable of burning with smoldering, binder, and additives such as synergists, dyes, and fungicide. 
A microbial fuel cell (MFC) is a bio-electrochemical system that converts the chemical energy in the organic compounds/renewable energy sources to electrical energy/bio-electrical energy through microbial catalysis at the anode under anaerobic conditions. This process is becoming attractive and alternative methodology for generation of electricity. MFC is even considering as the completely new approach to wastewater. 
In a discussion Dr Raman Ramachandran, Chairman and Managing Director, BASF India Ltd & Head, BASF South Asia with Chemical Today magazine speaks about the speaks about Together for Sustainability (TfS) initiative and sustainability in the chemical industry.

LONDON, UK: A 14-year old girl who died of cancer in London, has been given the permission to be cryogenically frozen in the hope she could be brought back to life in the future after winning a landmark court case shortly before her death, reported on BBC news. The High Court judge, Mr Justice Peter Jackson ruled that the girl’s mother should be allowed to decide what happened to the body. 
Pierre Eugene Marcellin Berthelot was a French chemist born on October 25, 1827 – died on March 18, 1907. Berthelot is considered as one of the greatest chemists of all time. He is noted for the Thomsen-Berthelot principle of thermochemistry. He synthesized many organic compounds from inorganic substances, providing a large amount of counterevidence to the theory of Jons Jakob Berzelius that organic compounds required organisms. 
BUFFALO, US: Researchers at the University at Buffalo believe that a new glow-in-the-dark dye is the next advancement in energy storage technology. They have recognised a fluorescent dye called BODIPY as an ideal material for storing energy in rechargeable, liquid-based batteries that could one-day power cars and homes. BODIPY, a short for boron-dipyrromethene shines brightly in the dark under. 
Fear – It is the ability to recognize danger leading to an urge to confront it or flee from it. Fear can also be an instant reaction to something presently happening. Fear is a chain reaction in the brain that starts with a stressful stimulus and ends with the release of chemicals that cause a racing heart, fast breathing and energized muscles, among other things, also known as the fight-or-flight response. 
Carl Gustaf Mosander was a Swedish chemist born on September 10, 1797 – died on October 15, 1858. Mosander work revealed existence of numerous 
CLEVELAND, US: Case Western Reserve University, Dayton Air Force Research Laboratory and China scientists have developed a new dry adhesive that bonds in extreme temperatures—a quality that could make the product ideal for space exploration and beyond. The gecko-inspired adhesive loses no traction in temperatures as cold as liquid nitrogen or as hot as molten silver, and actually gets stickier as heat increases, the researchers reported.
