Caption
Scientists created hyper-detailed simulations of nichrome, a metal alloy used in nuclear reactors, and exposed them to a popular molten salt mixture used in an advanced type of nuclear reactor. The team found that particular atomic arrangements created "corrosion highways" that made the material much more susceptible to corrosion.
