Hollow graphene aerogel fibers mimicking polar bear hair achieve record-low thermal conductivity and high electrical ...

Aerogel is about as perfect a contradiction as you could imagine. It holds the record as the lightest solid ever created, yet is durable enough to support the weight of a car or survive the vacuum of ...

Researchers from Empa and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL) are one step closer to developing a deployable fire drone. The so-called FireDrone prototype is equipped with an ...

A serendipitous discovery at Stanford revealed the properties of a material that changes form when exposed to flame. The finding holds promise for a spray coating that could protect homes from fire ...

Why bother adding a layer of insulation to a brick wall, if you can just build that wall using hollow bricks that are stuffed with insulation? That's the thinking behind self-insulating bricks which ...

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 ...

As of Wednesday, February 25, Aspen Aerogels, Inc.’s ASPN share price has dipped by 31.46%, which has investors questioning if this is right time to buy.

Chinese material scientists have created the world's lightest material: A graphene aerogel that is seven times lighter than air, and 12% lighter than the previous record holder (aerographite). A cubic ...

The Department of Energy is focusing on aerogels to reduce the severity of lithium battery fires. a lab that creates the substance shares the pros and cons of this technology in creating safer EVs.

Aerogel, a literal space-age material, could provide electric motors and devices with crucial shielding to protect neighboring electronic components without the need for heavier metal-based coverings.
