Issues

A metal is often protected from further attack by a film of the reaction product, but localized forms of corrosion—pitting, cracking—continue to be problems for researchers.

Studies of the evolution of electronic states in the single‐atom, two‐electron systems are a first step toward understanding the transitions that occur in chemical reactions.

Diamond‐anvil pressure cells and an accurate way to measure high pressures have expanded research in many areas, including electrical properties, radioactivity, crystallography and spectroscopy.
