As a thermal engineer, I appreciate this great scientific innovation. Looking forward to sharing this great video with my thermal group at Villanova University, USA!
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.
I have never wanted to touch something more in my life. Edit: this comment has been on this video for two years and, to this day, I get notifications of people liking it in my inbox. It wasn’t even supposed to be a joke! I was but a simple fool writing the first thing I thought. It haunts me.
It's basically useless for that purpose. For one thing, if you want to reduce blue light from your phone, _you make your phone screen emit less blue light (which is _*_super_*_ easy);_ it's completely silly to try to block out that light after the fact. Second, aerogel would absolutely suck as a screen protector. On the one hand, it's cloudy; not completely transparent - so it'd distort and blur the screen image. On the other hand, it's horribly brittle. Ironically, since it is sort of "brittle on the nanoscale", it would actually make for a decent shock absorper - _for one single drop, then it's crumbled and ruined._ Real-world screen protectors are instead made to be extremely tough and hard - so that they can take the hits and scratches and _not_ get destroyed in the process.
Thank you so much for not making us go through a hell hole of introductions, presentations and giveaways in a schizofrenic voice. Straight to the point.
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.
Right?? Omg I swear we were taught the same things every year and I was always in advanced science because it was to easy. I wanna learn stuff like this! It isn't even new! It was created in the 30's!! I wanna make aerogel!
nah bro, go into materials engineering and maybe in your masters you'll be able to work with this kind of stuff, but you gotta go through a few hard and boring years to start to understand these things practically
Veritasium, the channel that makes video thumbnails make you think are clickbait but they aren't and you're not disappointed but happy 😀😀 Great vid mate
@Gaming Legend Absolutely unnecessary, it's just a comment! And, others find it funny so, if you dont have anything nice to say, don't say it! Good day! :)
I thought aerogel is soft, jelly and spongy, not glassy and easy breakable. Therefore, it's not aerogel, but aeroglass. Ehh... those scientists have no sense for sense.
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.
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. So yeah thats your fact of the day why chips have a lot of air :)
Kaleb Pikachu : You can buy your own piece of aerogel or some (cheaper but much less spectacular) aerogel powder online. Just enter 'buy aerogel' into your search engine. Make sure that you get pure aerogel and not the fiber/aerogel composites , made for thermal insulations of buildings etc. Take a look at the hydrophobic aerogel. It really is amazing.
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..

the thing about school is, that it's all about grades. you learn stuff to get an A in your next test and after that you forget everything to have enough space in your head for the test after that.
For many areas in science that is essentially lab blasphemy, I'm not surprised. The rule is always "it doesn't matter how much it looks like food, if it's used in the lab it's not food".
@@enverko Still, no way of knowing with certainty what the surface of the aerogel touched previously. In general it's just not worth the risk in a lab setting, but I guess it "humanizes" for the purpose of a video
Is this thing ecofriendly ? Otherwise it also destroy our planet like plastic ..think before making something. Natural disasters happening for of our fault ...
@@kaizsislam1103 It's just silica gel, no worse than glass. It would pretty much dissolve after a while, anyways. There's barely any solid, it would pretty much just act as sand
Kaizs Ìslam why tf are you responsing like that, like your offensed, first of all its a gel not plastic which secondly makes you a hypocrit for saying think before you say, damn boomers...
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! 😍
I grew up in that neighborhood... making it on the channel has made my day ! Given me a nice rebuttal to "the crime rate is rampant there"..... Well, we make aerogel; aerogel !
0:10 I don't want to be mean, but 1.22g of air occupies nearly 1 liter of volume (the density of air is 1.23g/L). That block looks like just a few cubic centimeters in volume (10cm³), so it's average density would be somewhere around 0.122g/cm³, while air is around 0.00123g/cm³. Being 99.8% air means the 10cm³ block would weight 0.01228g (air) plus the weight of the aerogel itself, so : 0.122 - 0.01228 = 0.1097/10 = 0.01097g/cm³ or 8.9 times the density of air !
The world's *second* lightest solid is my wallet.

Would aerogel make for good screen protectors for phones since it scatters the color blue more then red/yellow?

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..
Dropping aerogel sounds like metal?
I was fine up until that point.
Like tin almost
hahaha so it's not only me, I cringed a little
I don't believe it!!
Please explain these acoustic properties
@@TheTom90100 A light solid that makes a little tiny sound, but resonates a lot in all those micro-air chambers? That is my hypothesis at least...

6:12 "I'm interested in tasting some of those chocolate here"
Science man in the background: "gross"
It took a while to notice! It really said it lol
For many areas in science that is essentially lab blasphemy, I'm not surprised. The rule is always "it doesn't matter how much it looks like food, if it's used in the lab it's not food".
@@cinquine1 it's melted chocolate, how bad can it be lol, there was no toxic materials around
@@enverko Nothing says _keto-friendly_ like crushed, microscopic silica particulate.
@@enverko Still, no way of knowing with certainty what the surface of the aerogel touched previously. In general it's just not worth the risk in a lab setting, but I guess it "humanizes" for the purpose of a video

I feel like this is the new eco-friendly solution to housing insulation.
It probs cost a lot 😬
BeastyBeard too expensive
Is this thing ecofriendly ? Otherwise it also destroy our planet like plastic ..think before making something. Natural disasters happening for of our fault ...
@@kaizsislam1103 It's just silica gel, no worse than glass. It would pretty much dissolve after a while, anyways. There's barely any solid, it would pretty much just act as sand
Kaizs Ìslam why tf are you responsing like that, like your offensed, first of all its a gel not plastic which secondly makes you a hypocrit for saying think before you say, damn boomers...
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.
It's pricey because its not mass produced yet, it'll be cheaper when its already mass produced
Please do more of videos on this. This material is amazing.
Please don't do

@@abhyjith.k.a I find it funny the highest rated comment I ever had was for unintended puns, lol.
0:10 I don't want to be mean, but 1.22g of air occupies nearly 1 liter of volume (the density of air is 1.23g/L).
That block looks like just a few cubic centimeters in volume (10cm³), so it's average density would be somewhere around 0.122g/cm³, while air is around 0.00123g/cm³.
Being 99.8% air means the 10cm³ block would weight 0.01228g (air) plus the weight of the aerogel itself, so : 0.122 - 0.01228 = 0.1097/10 = 0.01097g/cm³ or 8.9 times the density of air !
