Pressure-induced hydration (PIH) in the zeolite natrolite leads to well-ordered one-dimensional “water wires” and “water tubes”. These structures provide urgently needed points of reference for molecular dynamics simulations and serve as models of transient and disordered biological nanowater. We sh...
