It looks like glass and feels like solidified smoke, but the most interesting features of the new silica aerogels made by UC Davis and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory researchers are too small ...

Behind the simple headline "Additive manufacturing of silica aerogels" - the article was published on July 20th in the renowned scientific journal Nature - a groundbreaking development is hidden.

‘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.

Whether for the electric car or the next-generation train – according to Barbara Milow, aerogels will soon be indispensable in many areas. The DLR scientist and her working group are developing this ...

Keeping warm is a major concern for many people during the winter months. Rising fuel costs mean that just keeping a house warm in cold weather can be a struggle, and good insulation is vital to keep ...

Aerogel is an excellent thermal insulator. So far, however, it has mainly been used on a large scale, for example in environmental technology, in physical experiments or in industrial catalysis.
