Aerogel –
Aerogels are a class of synthetic porous ultralight material derived from a gel, in which the liquid component for the gel has been replaced with a gas, without significant collapse of the gel structure.[1] The result is a solid with extremely low density[2] and extremely low thermal conductivity. Aerogels can be made from a variety of chemical compounds.[3] Silica aerogels feel like fragile styrofoam to the touch, while some polymer-based aerogels feel like rigid foams.
The first documented example of an aerogel was created by Samuel Stephens Kistler in 1931,[4] as a result of a bet[5] with Charles Learned over who could replace the liquid in “jellies” with gas without causing shrinkage.[6][7]
