In the fight against climate change, fuel efficiency in cars is crucial. One way to lower fuel consumption is to use new alloys such as magnesium, which is 30% lighter than aluminum, to decrease the weight of cars.

However, because magnesium corrodes easily this is a not yet a viable solution for the automotive industry. That鈥檚 why 捆绑SM社区 researchers are trying to better understand the mechanisms involved in magnesium corrosion.

Phillippe Dauphin-Ducharme, PhD student in chemistry at 捆绑SM社区, and Janine Mauzeroll, associate professor of chemistry at 捆绑SM社区 both wrote a in Analytical Chemistry published on August 4^th 2015 about magnesium corrosion.

Phillippe Dauphin-Ducharme was also interviewed on the of Analytical Chemistry about the article.
