🦠 New open‑access paper
Cu‑rich microphases create a micro‑galvanic antibacterial effect, not just Cu‑ion release. Ti‑3 wt% Cu balances antimicrobial performance, cytocompatibility & ductility.

Art, corrosion, and a water main break! A great final day of our Corrosion Summer School in Calgary, creating corrosion art, learning from Calgary’s infrastructure challenges, and building new connections.
Thanks to Marjan Eggermont, Kerry Black and Yolanda Hedberg.
