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...
Huge thanks to Dr. Stephen Steiner and the crew at Aerogel Technologies. To find out more or buy your own aerogel sample, check out: www.aerogeltechnologies.com/
Thanks to Dr. Steven Jones and Dr. Mihail Petkov at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory
And thanks to FLIR for loaning us the awesome high definition thermal camera. The footage is amazing! www.flir.com

I remember reading about this in USA Today about 30 years ago. They had a picture of an Aerogel cube in a person's hand, and a candle flame in the background. They said that Aerogel worked so well, that if a room was fully insulated with the substance, the candle flame would be enough to heat the room. I thought that was so intriguing. And yet, I never really heard much about it again. I'm guessing it's both very expensive and very fragile to be practical in mass insulation production.

You can order it right now. Just google for it Its kinda pricy at like 100$ per square meter and 1/4" thick. Its thermal isolation is about 1.5 times as good as PIR and 2-3 times as good as rockwool. So yes its there, but you have 5 inches of PIR for pennies and it insulates MUCH better than 1/4" aerogel. In the end all these insulation materials do the same, insulate by having tiny airpockets. The smaller the air pockets, the better, aerogel is the best, but its not a game changing difference. Thickness always remains key to insulation. Unless you are willing to spend a fortune to save a little on the thickness/weight, you're just better of using something cheap like PIR.

It's great to know about aerogels that have really great and interesting properties. Watching the video about the various uses and roles of the aerogel, I found it very attractive. I'm also looking forward to watching the aerogel develop further. Not only do we hope for more innovation and development in the future, but we also look forward to seeing aerogels being used in new areas.
The fact that they did this in 1931 is actually what blows my mind; it reframes what I think of scientific progress and capability back then

Chip packets are filled with a lot of nitrogen so that the chips stay fresher longer and have a longer shelf life..also when they are transported they get tossed around and so having the nitrogen in them prevents them from getting crushed.

Who you calling out? I'm not getting the hint
Fun Fact! The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray may look like a spaceship from some angles, but that may be by sheer coincidence. Though that’s not to say that a certain space agency shouldn’t be thanked for a certain attribute the C7 features. And that is a substance called Aerogel! Developed by NASA for use in space suits, Aerogel is considered to be one of the lightest materials in existence, composed of 99.8 percent air, and yet capable of retaining a solid form. At the same time, this substance insulates 39 times better than even the best fiberglass. It is with Aerogel that GM chose to line the C7’s transmission tunnel, with a 10-mm (0.4-inch) layer applied to its sides, and another 5 mm (0.2 inch) on the top. The goal is to keep the heat of the transmission tunnel from transferring into the cabin..
Very cool stuff!

Hello Veritasium, Can aerogel be able to form heat protection shields for the reentry into the atmosphere as well?
Would aerogel be suitable for insulation material in the building sector for normal houses, or is it way to expensive to produce? Could this technology be developed so that a broad use of the material would be possible? It's a fascinating material for sure! 😍

It's way too expensive for commercial properties. The process to make it also isn't easy, however easy it seems on demos like these.

I also think it's really interesting that he didn't title this "World's Least Dense Solid." He sacrificed some technical accuracy for a more relatable and "clickable" title. Given that he qualifies this in the first sentence of the video though, there's no reason to take issue with it imo.
