Ultimately, the cracking compromises the life cycle of the structure. For example ... and deterioration can be improved using magnesium oxide admixture to mitigate shrinkage cracks and curling ...

Magnesium oxide is a dull white powder ... They represent the number of atoms of each element in the formula. For example, CO₂ contains one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms.

The study showcases a considerable improvement in magnesium (Mg) diffusion within a rock-salt structure ... the first utilization of rocksalt oxide as a cathode material for RMBs.
