[@4seeableTV]

I remember reading about this in USA Today about 30 years ago. They had a picture of an Aerogel cube in a person's hand, and a candle flame in the background. They said that Aerogel worked so well, that if a room was fully insulated with the substance, the candle flame would be enough to heat the room. I thought that was so intriguing. And yet, I never really heard much about it again. I'm guessing it's both very expensive and very fragile to be practical in mass insulation production.

[@arjensmit6684]

You can order it right now. Just google for it Its kinda pricy at like 100$ per square meter and 1/4" thick. Its thermal isolation is about 1.5 times as good as PIR and 2-3 times as good as rockwool. So yes its there, but you have 5 inches of PIR for pennies and it insulates MUCH better than 1/4" aerogel. In the end all these insulation materials do the same, insulate by having tiny airpockets. The smaller the air pockets, the better, aerogel is the best, but its not a game changing difference. Thickness always remains key to insulation. Unless you are willing to spend a fortune to save a little on the thickness/weight, you're just better of using something cheap like PIR.

[@icecube-n2d]

impossible, aerogel is kinda expensive and extremely weak and brittle

[@dakota7134]

@@icecube-n2d it is?

[@mnxs]

It's basically useless for that purpose. For one thing, if you want to reduce blue light from your phone, _you make your phone screen emit less blue light (which is _*_super_*_ easy);_ it's completely silly to try to block out that light after the fact. Second, aerogel would absolutely suck as a screen protector. On the one hand, it's cloudy; not completely transparent - so it'd distort and blur the screen image. On the other hand, it's horribly brittle. Ironically, since it is sort of "brittle on the nanoscale", it would actually make for a decent shock absorper - _for one single drop, then it's crumbled and ruined._ Real-world screen protectors are instead made to be extremely tough and hard - so that they can take the hits and scratches and _not_ get destroyed in the process.

Kaleb Pikachu : You can buy your own piece of aerogel or some (cheaper but much less spectacular) aerogel powder online. Just enter 'buy aerogel' into your search engine. Make sure that you get pure aerogel and not the fiber/aerogel composites , made for thermal insulations of buildings etc. Take a look at the hydrophobic aerogel. It really is amazing.

Chip packets are filled with a lot of nitrogen so that the chips stay fresher longer and have a longer shelf life..also when they are transported they get tossed around and so having the nitrogen in them prevents them from getting crushed.

It's way too expensive for commercial properties. The process to make it also isn't easy, however easy it seems on demos like these.
