Aerogels are highly open-porous nanostructured materials with very low bulk density and exceptionally low thermal conductivity, which makes them particularly lucrative for aerospace applications.

The solids with fascinating properties have, among other things, a low density and a high internal surface area. They perfect their special feature through high sound absorption and extremely high ...

Aerogel even made its way into cigarette filters and freezer insulation. A 1951 Monsanto annual report boasted its exceptional applications: Significant and unusual applications for Santocel ...

Utilising plastic waste, researchers from the National University of Singapore engineered thin-film aerogels that function as thermal insulators and radiative coolers. In this demonstration ...

Aerogels stand out for their exceptional thermal insulation capabilities, making them suitable for use in building insulation, aerospace, and the apparel industry. Their high surface area and porosity ...

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 ...

We recently published a list of Why These 15 Construction Stocks Are Plunging in 2025. In this article, we are going to take ...

Wang Zhenyang and Zhang Shudong from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, developed a new type of ceramic fiber aerogel, SiC@SiO₂, featuring highly ...
