Aerogel – The Lightest Solid on Earth

Discover one of the most fascinating materials ever created by humankind: aerogel, also known as “frozen smoke.” These blue-white, airy particles are so light and porous that it feels like holding a cloud – yet they are strong enough to be used in space.

Why you’ll love it:
• Made from silica – the lightest known solid material on Earth.
• Often called “frozen smoke” because of its unique, almost transparent structure.
• Hydrophobic (water-repellent) and extremely insulating – a material even used by NASA.
• Used in space missions, for example to capture interstellar dust in deep space.
• Comes in a tube containing approximately 28 grams of aerogel particles, along with an information card explaining its extraordinary properties.
• Safe to touch, perfect for curious kids, science nerds, or as a unique gift for tech and space enthusiasts.

Specifications:
• Contents: Approx. 28 grams of aerogel particles.
• Packaging: Delivered in a clear bottle with a screw cap.
• Features: Hydrophobic, insulating, porous.

Want the ultimate space experience?

Aerogel is also available in a bundle together with our Mylar space blanket – the same kind used by astronauts and rescue teams. Perfect for anyone who loves space, science, or just wants to wrap themselves in something that feels like the future.
