What is it about?
This work provides results which demonstrate how lasers can help control nucleation of zeolites, from a temporal and spatial point of view within an irradiated liquid. Nuclei are observed under TEM, after a sudden holt of the growth process that follows nucleation.

Why is it important?
It is important to avoid spontaneous, noncontrolled nucleation, which could give rise to a wide zeolite particle size distribution.
Perspectives
This work opens the way to achieve narrow particle size distributions within laser irradiated liquids, a process which could be scaled up for the production of Zeolitic and other inorganic materials.
