NASA Polymide AerogelAerogel is a space-age material famed for having the lowest bulk density of any known porous solid - it is has been described as "solid smoke" due to its lightness and has been used to create everything from batteries to oil spill clean-up equipment. Now a team of researchers from NASA's Glenn Research Center has announced that advances in aerogel could lead to a new generation of highly insulating clothing. In the past, aerogel was dismissed for use in clothing as it is made from silica and can be fragile and brittle....<br><br><a href='https://inhabitat.com/nasa-new-ultra-thin-flexible-aerogels-could-be-used-to-make-super-insulated-clothing/'>READ ARTICLE</a>1
