Low-density zeolites collapse to the rigid amorphous state at temperatures that are well below the melting points of crystals of the same composition but of conventional density. Here we show, by ...

The porous, sieve-like minerals known as zeolites have been used for decades in purifiers, filters and other devices. Yet creating and refining a new type of zeolite is still a matter of sophisticated ...

Such decline in use can be attributed to their non-environment-friendly properties that damage water quality by encouraging excessive plant growth and decay. Substitutes such as zeolites, citric acid, ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The ability to separate and purify specific molecules in a chemical mixture is essential to chemical manufacturing. By using membranes – rather than energy-intensive processes ...

Researchers have found the first definitive evidence of how silicalite-1 (MFI type) zeolites grow, showing that growth is a concerted process involving both the attachment of nanoparticles and the ...

The fuels used today depend heavily on petroleum. As the demand grows, scientists are looking for ways to produce fuels that do not require petroleum. A research team set out to examine the role of ...

Glioblastoma, the most widespread and lethal primary brain tumor in adults, is notoriously difficult to treat due to the surrounding lack of oxygen essential to the effectiveness of current treatment.
