aerogel

Although aerogel is classed as a solid, 99% of the substance is made up of gas, which gives it a cloudy appearance.

Sodium montmorillonite can be freeze-dried into a spongelike material known as an aerogel.

Sodium montmorillonite can be freeze-dried into a spongelike matecurdrial known as an aerogel.

Sodium montmorillonite can be freeze-dried into a spongelike material known as an aerogel. Aerogels are famously fragile.

Researchers believe that some versions of aerogel which are made from platinum can be used to speed up the production of hydrogen.

The invention provides reinforced aerogel monoliths as well as fiber reinforced composites thereof for a variety of uses.

I can see aerogel being used for everything from filtering polluted water to insulating against extreme temperatures and even for jewellery.

One of the best methods is to prepare aerogel composites by doping with reinforcements and opacifiers.

The focal points range from 20 microns above the aerogel's surface to 100 microns deep within the surface.

Aerogel is a new kind of material with a lot of fascinating properties, it has become a focus in scientific research in recent years.

The spatial aperture range of aerogel can be controlled by changing the ratio of the carbon aerogel to the tungsten carbide.

Aerogel is also being used for everyday applications.

In 1999 the space agency fitted its Stardust space probe with a mitt packed full of aerogel to catch the dust from a comet's tail.

Earlier this year Bob Stoker, 66, from Nottingham, became the first Briton to have his property insulated with aerogel.

The resulting "frozen smoke" aerogel is flexible and has conductivity that makes it an ideal sensor.

The porous carbons including carbon black, carbon aerogel and multiwall carbon nanotube were studied.

In the laboratory, a metal plate coated in 6mm of aerogel was left almost unscathed by a direct dynamite blast.

Aerogel is also being tested for future bombproof housing and armour for military vehicles.

NASA's Stardust mission used a block of aerogel to soft-catch high-speed comet particles.

As a result, aerogel can be used to make hydrogen-based fuels.

The project has now moved on from the experimental stage and AH-64 Apaches will soon be getting the aerogel treatment too.

A thin film of the aerogel on a robotic hand could serve as a kind of skin.

Yeap! Did you know that aerogel is the lightest solid on earth?

Zhai's team recently published an article about the aerogel in ACS Nano.

In 2002 Aspen Aerogel, a company created by Nasa, produced a stronger and more flexible version of the gel.

Aerogel is nicknamed "frozen smoke" and is made by extracting water from a silica gel, then replacing it with gas such as carbon dioxide.

We are aiming to complete scanning and processing of 12 aerogel tiles before we launch the search.

Aerogel weighs almost nothing. It looks a lot like smoke.
