Secret Behind Formation of Hollowed Nanoparticles During Metal Oxidation Revealed

Rust is a sign of neglect. Rust undermines the tools and structures that are used on a daily basis, from cars to buildings and bridges. However, if carefully controlled, the same process that causes rust – metal oxidation – could provide researchers ways to progress advanced drug delivery technologies or battery technologies.
