Greem (Graeme. Not Graham!)There is little in life as satisfying as chemically descaling a kettle.
Ellie KennardWhat do you think? @colinpurrington Should this work to deter mosquitos? My brother (thanks to him for the image) says it worked for him today:
"Cloth on ants nest. Wait for them to attack it with formic acid. Shake ants off. Wipe arms and legs and face. No mosquitoes."
Wayne WernerHey! #FormicAcid /is/ how #ants make itching. I don't know what the #LD50 is though!

New process turns carbon dioxide into a valuable material for the biochemical industry via formic acid
New synthetic metabolic pathways for fixation of carbon dioxide could not only help to reduce the carbon dioxide content of the atmosphere, but also replace conventional chemical manufacturing processes for pharmaceuticals and active ingredients with carbon-neutral, biological processes. A new study published in Nature Communications demonstrates a process that can turn carbon dioxide into a valuable material for the biochemical industry via formic acid.
