Three "special" oxides – aluminum oxide, chromium oxide and silicon dioxide – can actually work to protect metal from further corrosion. So the MIT team set out to explore why this was the case.

Background Pure aluminum (Al) is generally considered corrosion-resistant due to the protective nature of the spontaneously forming aluminum oxide passive film. This film acts as a wide bandgap ...
