Researchers discover crystalline zeolites in a nanotubular
shape

Zeolites, which are crystalline porous materials, are
very widely used in the production of chemicals, fuels, materials,
and other products.  So far, zeolites have been made as 3D or
2D materials. This has changed with the recent discovery of
crystalline zeolites in a nanotubular (1D) shape, by researchers at
the Georgia Institute of Technology, Stockholm University, and Penn
State University. The findings were published in the Jan. 6 issue
of Science.
