NEWS RELEASE
Rusting iron can be its own worst enemy
Iron that rusts in water theoretically shouldn’t corrode in contact with an "inert" supercritical fluid of carbon dioxide. But it does. The reason has eluded materials scientists until now, but a team at Rice University has a theory that could contribute to new strategies to protect iron from the environment.
