A new anti-fire aerogel could help make EV batteries safer by stopping fires from spreading within the lithium-ion cells ...

Aerogel — that mixture of air and silica — is one of those materials that seems like a miracle. It is almost not there since the material is 99% air. [NileRed] wanted to make his own and he ...

A novel hybrid aerogel with tailored active sites can selectively ... a metal-organic polyhedral made up of zirconium and a 2D imine-linked covalent organic framework. The researchers used iron ...

200 °C and approx. +1400 °C. The material can also be functionalized. Aerogels can therefore be hydrophilic or hydrophobic and can also be made electrically conductive. Furthermore, they can be ...

French designer Coperni has made a bag out of NASA's silica aerogel nano-material ... Normally, if you heated up the jelly till all the water had evaporated all that would be left would be ...

with hydrogels often being used in biomedical applications for their ability to retain water. Aerogels stand out for their exceptional thermal insulation capabilities, making them suitable for use in ...

a team of scientists led by Shuang Liang and Xuechuan Wang from Shaanxi University of Science and Technology have developed an aerogel made from chitosan (CS) and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose ...

A team of chemical engineers and materials scientists at Zhejiang University in China has developed a new type of aerogel fiber that ... is that the hairs that make up their fur coat have both ...

WILLIAMS: The temperature goes up ... aerogel material held taut inside a metal frame. This is what's placed between the lithium-ion cells of EV batteries currently inside certain vehicles made ...
