Utilising plastic waste, researchers from the National University of Singapore engineered thin-film aerogels that function as thermal insulators and radiative coolers. In this demonstration ...

"The aerogel is a long thin tube. You slice it, almost like a salami. You take that slice, and compress it, to fit into the battery," says Carmen Cavallo of the Department of Physics at Chalmers ...

[Ben Krasnow] is upping his SEM game with a new rig to improve image capture (video link) and more easily create animated GIFs and videos. The color scheme of the SEM housing gives away its 80s ...

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 ...

This is a scanning electron microscope image of a hollow polystyrene sphere. When Arkaprabha Giri, a postdoc in Christopher Jones’s lab at Georgia Tech, first made it as part of his research ...

Aerogels are defined by their unique structure, composed of a network of interconnected nanopores and solid material, which can be made from various substances including silica, carbon, and metal ...

From Pope Francis in a puffer jacket to Wes Anderson-inspired movie trailers, AI-generated images have become increasingly common on the Internet. It’s not hard to see why — modern generative ...

Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) has revolutionized the realm of microscopic analysis. By delivering astonishingly detailed images of minuscule entities such as insects, bacteria, or even the ...

Armacell, a global leader in flexible foam for the equipment insulation market and a leading provider of engineered foams, ...

Cutting-edge scanning electron microscope images, combined with light micrographs and X-rays, bring this captivating plant vividly to life. Meticulously photographed over the course of three years, ...

But it could be just the thing for your bay windows. Aerogel is often described as the most effective insulating material known to science. While aerogel strips or panels have been used in ...
