AN ULTRA-LIGHT MATERIAL, ONLY GAS MAKING THE BREAKTHROUGH

The majority of aerogel is composed of silica, rather than carbon, iron oxide, organic polymers, semiconductor nanostructures, gold and copper can also form aerogel. Have you ever thought about making the air standstill, or in a way trapping the smoke in a frozen state? Aerogel is what we are looking at here. This is an ultralight material derived from gel, but the twist is that, the liquid component of the gel has been replaced with a gas. Making it actually look translucent in nature. You might know about its existence…
