Frozen Smoke

Posted on August 20, 2007 - Filed Under News, Technology

Hi [my lazy no-blogging] Ozzie! 🙂 Announced in the news today was this 'new' material that could change the world. It looks like frozen smoke, but it's called "Aerogel", one of the world's lightest solids. What can it do? It can:
  1. Protect your home against bomb blasts
  2. Clean up oil Spills
  3. Help man fly to Mars
  4. Withstand a direct blast of 1kg of dynamite
  5. Protect against heat from a blowtorch at more than 1,300C.
  6. Keep boots and sleeping bags toasty warm for mountain climbing
