Researchers at Aerogel Technologies invent new process for making ultralight strong aerogel in unlimited sizes

Aerogel adhesive tape? What a great idea! The easiest way to insulate tight spaces with space-age technology https://t.co/HTrDTQKA6t

Transparent metal is now possible! Metallic aerogels composed of silver, gold, and copper can be made by force field directed physical vapor deposition of metal over a silica aerogel. Electrostatic field lines emanating from the aerogel guide incoming metal atoms where to go.

Love the deep dive @korea_ufo has done on air-buoyant solids aka vacuum balloons made with aerogel. We worked with Los Alamos National Laboratory to create prototypes and gave them the Airloy formulation to start aerogel development with. We will answer any and all questions.

Here's five things we can do to bring chemical and materials #manufacturing back to the #usa. 1. Reduce regulations impeding in-facility solvent recycling 2. Stop taxing industrial uses of ethanol like booze 3. Simplify and harmonize regulations surrounding chemical packaging and

While tariffs against China de-incentivize sending manufacturing overseas, tariffs aren't enough. We simultaneously and immediately need to stop disincentivizing #manufacturing chemicals and materials technologies that are #madeinusa. There are still high costs associated with

Happy Birthday to Samuel Kistler, the #inventor of #aerogel, who would have turned 125 today! Who knew in 1900 that a 29-year-old PhD student would spark a global research field and create such an important #materials technology! #happybirthday ...or was it really aliens???

The World’s most surreal & beautiful train rides. Open the thread and be amazed 🧵

Check out this #aerogel #magic! Same aerogel, two different backgrounds. This is a demonstration of how aerogels exhibit Rayleigh scattering and appear sky blue against a dark background, but how this scattered light is drowned out by a white background.

Aerogel conference announcement! We are pleased to announce the third Aerogels and Aerogel-Inspired Materials Symposium to be held this Nov 30-Dec 5, 2025 at the Fall meeting of @Materials_MRS in Boston--six action-packed days of the latest mind-bending physics-defying aerogel

Innovation is hard but can be approached systematically. Here's a song-based mnemonic for assessing #disruption via Mcluhan's four effects and Aristotle's four causes from our genius collaborator: https://t.co/Yo5dInPFz3 what does it enhance/amplify what does it

Scientists at Newcastle University in England have made a breakthrough insulating mortar using aerogel and recycled PET plastic (the most difficult to recycle plastic and often ending up in landfills) that reduces heat loss 55% over normal mortar while still meeting all British
