Iron is well-known for rusting, but this doesn't just happen on contact with oxygen and water. Some bacteria are also able to able to decompose iron anaerobically in a process referred to as ...

Right: uncoated iron. Left: coated iron. Both shown after exposure to rust-promoting conditions. Credit: Linoy Amar Researchers have developed a highly effective dual-layer coating that provides 99.6% ...

A new dual-layer coating has been developed that offers 99.6% protection against iron corrosion. Iron gives modern infrastructure strength, from soaring skyscrapers to vital bridges. However, a ...
