Crystal Sieves, Born Anew
Hard data resolves decades-old mystery of how certain zeolites form

Paragraphs 9 and 10:

"These are complex structures containing hundreds of atoms per unit cell and their formation is determined largely by kinetics," said Tsapatsis. "Our approach is to slow down the kinetics and exhaustively study the evolution by all techniques available to us."

Ultimately, the researchers hope to develop, validate and improve quantitative mathematical models that describe the complex systems.

The ISCID Forums are aimed at generating insight into the nature of complex systems (e.g. biological complexity, organizational complexity, etc.) and the ontological status of purpose, especially from the vantage point of various information- and design-theoretic models.
