A new collection of chemically diverse dome-celled ultralight aerogels with high porosity and very low density feature elasticity and mechanical properties that remain intact even under extreme ...

Using a novel dome-shaped structural design, researchers present a chemically diverse collection of aerogels that remain elastic and mechanically intact under extreme temperatures. The findings open ...

Researchers developed a new type of ceramic fiber aerogel, featuring highly anisotropic thermal conductivity and extreme thermal stability through directional bio-inspired design. (Nanowerk News) A ...

‘Aerogel’ is a broad term used to talk about an extraordinary group of materials that have been used since the 1960s in space travel, but are now finding uses across a whole range of industries.

Recently, a research group led by Prof. 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, ...

Researchers report that, in a parabolic-flight microgravity test, a laser was able to accelerate ultralight graphene aerogels to speeds and distances that exceeded what the same setup achieved under ...

Aerogels are a highly porous and ultralight solid material, making a name for themselves as an up-and-coming fire protection choice for electric vehicles, having been first recognised within the ...
