NASA-developed Aerogel makes L.L.Bean’s new Primaloft Packaway Jacket warmer, lighter, and more compact than ever before ...

Made up of over 90 percent air by weight, aerogels are the lightest materials in existence and among the best thermal insulators. But their cloudy appearance means they don't lend themselves well to ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Aerogels are a unique class of extremely porous solid materials with densities and thermal conductivities lower than air. Their impressive properties, including low density, high ...

Scientists think they’ve found a way to terraform Mars — and all it takes is a thin blanket of insulation over future space gardens. A layer of aerogel just two to three centimeters thick may be ...

The research team led by Professor Kim Junghwan (Department of Advanced Materials System Engineering) at Pukyong National University has developed a ...

Mars is a cold, inhospitable planet. Temperatures routinely drop to as low as -81 °F and down to -200 °F in some spots during winter. Meanwhile, the ultraviolet radiation could make humans seriously ...
