This 50ml set of genuine Silica Aerogel blocks showcases one of NASA's most remarkable high-tech materials. With a particle size range of 5-50mm, this “frozen smoke” insulation cube is perfect for hands-on STEM education, science projects, and collectors of advanced nanomaterials.
Key Features & Benefits:
The Lightest Solid on Earth: Aerogels hold world records in Guinness World Records for being the lightest and least dense solids, consisting of up to 99.8% air.
NASA-Proven Technology: This is the same material used in the STARDUST mission to capture comet dust and to protect Mars rovers like Perseverance and Curiosity from extreme space conditions.
Unique Physical Properties: Our silica aerogel is hydrophobic (water-repellent) and an incredibly efficient insulator. It has an ethereal, translucent appearance with a soft blue opalescent tint, truly resembling a “solid cloud.”
Ideal for Education & Display: Each set includes multiple aerogel chunks of varying sizes, perfect for demonstrations, experiments, or as a stunning visual exhibit of nanotechnology.
Explore the wonder of nanotechnology with this authentic piece of space-age insulation material—an unforgettable educational tool and scientific conversation piece.
