A different, but important, focus for climate change reduction relates to efforts to reduce steel corrosion (the electrochemical reaction that occurs when metals oxidize and begin to rust). This is ...

Researchers have found that untreated salts can create major challenges for molten salt reactors.

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and the Qatar Science and Technology Research Center (QSRTC) have developed a new automated method to assess corrosion in industrial equipment ...

Every year, about US$2.5 trillion is lost to corrosion globally. That’s more than 3 percent of the global GDP. But the concern over metal corrosion is not solely a financial issue. It’s one of safety ...

A joint research team at the Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS) has successfully developed Korea's first high corrosion- and wear-resistant carbon coating technology to mitigate the severe ...

Mussels, barnacles, and other sticky marine invertebrates have been many a researcher’s inspiration for designing novel adhesives. A new study shows for the first time that the proteins in the natural ...

Corrosion in metals can lead to the structural fatigue or failure of bridges, pipelines, and plane fuselages. Anti-corrosion coatings help prevent this, but they become ineffective when pierced, ...
