Aerogel is a broad term used to talk about an

extraordinary group of materials that have been used since the 1960s in space travel, but are now finding uses across a whole

range of industries. ‘Aerogel’ is not a specific mineral or material with a set chemical formula-rather, the term is used

to encompass all materials with a specific geometrical structure. This structure is an extremely porous, solid foam, with

high connectivity between branched structures of a few nanometres across.
