A new study in Engineering shows that a biomass-based carbon aerogel named BCA-600 can be used in solar-driven photothermal ...

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 ...

A recent study published in Engineering presents a novel approach to address oily water pollution and oily sludge (OS) issues using a multifunctional ...

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 ...

Scientists from South China University of Technology have created a novel MXene aerogel reinforced with cellulose nanofibers, ...

The anisotropic PI/HAP/rGO aerogel developed in this work features vertically aligned channels, enabling superior adsorption efficiency (with an adsorption coefficient Ks 0.37 Kg m-1 s -1/2 for ...

Boston, Massachusetts--(Newsfile Corp. - March 13, 2025) - Owing to their exceptionally low thermal conductivity, low density, hydrophobicity, fire retardancy, and acoustic insulation, aerogels ...

The paper reveals that insulation materials show performance gaps ... each an insulating space. Cold-service aerogel blankets, in contrast, are aerogel-filled, flexible fibrous blankets that are ...

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 ...
