Materials like aerogels reduce energy consumption and make things lighter, meaning they use less fuel/electricity to do the same amount of work. Indeed investment in #materials is an investment in the #environment

Here's 5 ways to bring chemical #manufacturing back to #usa:
1 Reduce regulations re solvent recycling
2 Stop taxing industrial ethanol use like booze
3 Simplify regulations re chemical packaging & transport
4 Limit penalties to environmental releases
5 Open more disposal sites & subsidize disposal

Announcing the invited speaker list for our upcoming Aerogels and Aerogel-Inspired Materials symposium this Nov 30 through Dec 5 in Boston at the Materials Research Society Fall Meeting! Read more here: www.aerogel.org?p=2156 @springernature.com @mitofficial.bsky.social

Check out this #aerogel #magic! The same aerogel against two different backgrounds. Showcases how against black Rayleigh scattering causes a blue cast and against white Mie scattering creates a yellow hue. #science #sciencefair #nanotechnology #materials #space

Need an idea for #sciencefair? Amazing #aerogel has everything from hydrophobicity to superinsulation to ultralow density going for it. Lots of hypotheses and ideas to explore and many different scientist-friendly forms including blankets, particles, and solid shapes. Learn more at BuyAerogel.com

Aerogel conference announcement! We are pleased to announce the third Aerogels and Aerogel-Inspired Materials Symposium to be held this Nov 30-Dec 5, 2025 at the Fall meeting of the Materials Research Society in Boston and will be six action-packed days. Read more at aerogel.org?p=2151

Scientists have created a next-gen version of polyurethane foam insulation that's 2x better insulating thanks to nanosized air pockets 1000x smaller than a red blood cell. The material is called Slentite #aerogel and has an R-value of 8 per inch. Imagine what it can do for #climatechange.
