World's Lightest and Lowest Density Solid
Have you heard about the World's Lightest and Lowest Density Solid? Its Name is Aerogel. This piece features a mass of just 1.22 grams that's only some times the mass of the identical volume of air, which sort of is sensible because it's 99.8% air. In fact, some aerogels are so light that if I removed all the air from them, they'd be less dense than air. I've got long been fascinated by aerogel so I actually flew intent on AerogelTechnologies in Boston to seek out why was aerogel invented. 1) You know that How is it made? And also 2) Why is it such an honest thermal insulator and what's it used for? Okay To demonstrate the insulating power of aerogel so up here we've two setups: one with a glass Petri dish , and also the other one with aerogel on top. - Both are...
