Aerogel — that mixture of air and silica — is one of those materials that seems like a miracle. It is almost not there since the material is 99% air. [NileRed] wanted to make his own and he ...

However, the mechanical properties of graphite are relatively weak due to the close stacking of the graphene sheets. To overcome this, a porous version of graphene, known as a graphene aerogel, can be ...

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 ...

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, SiC@SiO₂, featuring highly ...
