In article number 2100924, Antonio Riveiro, Juan Pou, and co‐workers introduce a novel concept of controlling and guiding the corrosion process of a material through a laser treatment. After the treatment, the degradation is no longer random and unpredictable, but progresses towards the designed regions and directions. Applications like batteries, biodegradable implants or cathodic protection systems may benefit from such a controlled and tailored corrosion.
