Effective tailoring of pore sizes in mesoporous molecular sieves (see Figure) has been achieved by a novel method involving the restructuring of the mesopores under mild aqueous conditions. A studyis reported aimed at elucidating the underlying chemistry. It is suggested that further investigation could provide insight into natural biomineral resorption and lead to materials with enhanced biocompatibility characteristics.
