The quest to understand the fundamental properties of atomic nuclei has led scientists to the intriguing concept of the tetraneutron, a hypothetical atomic nucleus composed solely of four neutrons. The existence of tetraneutrons has been a subject of debate, primarily due to the limited knowledge about systems consisting only of neutrons, as most atomic nuclei are a mix of protons and neutrons.

When water vapor meets metal, the resulting corrosion can lead to mechanical problems that harm a machine's performance. Through a process called passivation, it also can form a thin inert layer that acts as a barrier against further deterioration.
Either way, the exact chemical reaction is not well understood on an atomic level, but that is changing thanks to a technique called environmen
