That's because of aerogel's internal sponge-like structure; the material is so dehydrated that it's about 99% air. "The first thing most people do when they touch a piece of silica aerogel for the ...

Researchers at Newcastle University have developed a novel mortar that incorporates recycled plastic and silica aerogel, reducing heat loss by up to 55% compared to standard mixes. This eco ...

NASA’s Stardust mission wasn’t originally built to question the origins of life, but its results may reshape that ...

They perfect their special feature through high sound absorption and extremely high thermal insulation. Aerogels can be used in a variety of ways. To ensure this, they can be brittle like ceramic but ...

Aerogels are defined by their unique structure, composed of a network of interconnected nanopores and solid material, which can be made from various substances including silica, carbon, and metal ...

Aerogel — that mixture of air and silica — is one of those materials that seems like a miracle. It is almost not there since the material is 99% air. [NileRed] wanted to make his own and he ...
