Aerogel | The Lightest Materials on Earth, NASA-Inspired "Frozen Smoke" (Chunks, High Purity, Silica-Based)

• Aerogels are the world's lightest, least dense solids, consisting of up to 99.8% air, and have been recognized with entries in the Guinness Book of World Records.
• This silica-based aerogel is hydrophobic (repels water) and has an incredibly low density. We include chunks of different sizes, with more than one between 0.5 and 1.5 inch
• NASA used aerogel to capture space dust in the STARDUST mission, where the aerogel gently slowed and trapping high-velocity particles of comet dust without damaging them!
• Our silica aerogel has an ethereal, translucent look with an opalescent, soft blue tint, resembling "frozen smoke" or a "solid cloud."
• Aerogel is a powerful insulator, and NASA also uses it to protect the Mars Exploration Rovers (Perseverance, Curiosity, Spirit, and Opportunity) from the harsh elements in space!
