Aerogel for Sale! by Cute & Adorable Gadgets

Aerogel for Sale!

Posted in Random Tech by Danielle on February 12th, 2006.

United Nuclear now is selling Aerogel, also called “frozen smoke” because of its hazy blue appearance. Aerogel is the lightest (weighing only three times the weight of air) and lowest density material in the world. Composed of 99.8% air, Aerogel is chemically similar to glass.

Aerogel holds 15 records in the Guiness World Book of Records, and is also used by NASA in the Stardust mission. A small piece of Aerogel can be yours for $40, and a large block for $125.
