‘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.

Aerogel, a literal space-age material, could provide electric motors and devices with crucial shielding to protect neighboring electronic components without the need for heavier metal-based coverings.

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 ...

Owing to their exceptionally low thermal conductivity, low density, hydrophobicity, fire retardancy, and acoustic insulation, aerogels have historically seen steady growth across LNG, industry, energy ...
