Over the last decade or so‎,‎ there has been immense progress in the development of tools‎,‎ both experimental and theoretical‎,‎ for probing the solid/fluid interface at the nanoscale‎.‎ These advances open the way towards mechanistic understanding‎,‎ and potentially prediction‎,‎ of chemical processes occurring at this interface‎.‎ Amongst the fields beginning to benefit from such effort is corrosion science‎,‎ which is primarily concerned with degradation of metallic materials immersed in either liquid or gaseous environments‎.‎ Thia Faraday Discussion focuses on the nanoscale interfacial chemical processes relevant to corrosion and its control‎.‎ Corrosion science is becoming increasingly important as we move towards a world where every atom counts‎,‎ e‎.‎g‎.‎ in maintaining the performance of nano‎-devices‎,‎ as well for ensuring sustainability through optimum use of natural resources‎.‎
