World’s Lightest Solid!
Aerogels are the world’s lightest (least dense) solids. They are also excellent thermal insulators and have been used in numerous Mars missions and the Stardust comet particle-return mission. The focus of this video is silica aerogels, though graphene aerogels are now technically the lightest.
At one point Dr. Steven Jones literally held the Guinness World Record for making the lightest aerogel and therefore lightest solid. If you’re interested in learning more about aerogels, let me know in the comments as there is a potential trilogy in the works…

Where did they get this assclown narrator?
wow, this stuff should be slathered on the houses in California to fireproof them from the annual fires they seem to have!
So, we know you've got things to do… But let me recommend you watch this 15 minute video about "the world's lightest solid."……
Lays is more lighter than airgel 😂
This may be the start of an aerogel revolution…
Magnificent
Can you make a condom out of it?
lays be like are u challenging me 😏
The whole video i wanted to crush that thing and see what happens
Teacher: "Never eat anything in the lab"
Me: 6:14
Why we still don't see this in our daily life?!

Est ce l'homme le plus détesté de YT? en tout cas vous avez fait fondre facilement l'iceberg du Titanic avec vos conneries de dégénérés anglophones
