New Podcast Posted: Ultrastrong Aerogels and Metal Aerogels

This week on The Critical Point, in our fourth installment of our continuing series “The People Who Reinvented Aerogel”, we sit down with Prof. Nicholas Leventis from the Missouri University of Science and Technology and learn about ultrastrong, flexible x-aerogels and metal aerogels–two new classes of materials that enable some very exciting technological possibilities.  X-aerogels are the first structural aerogels ever developed, and metal aerogels combine conductivity, catalytic activity, and high surface area.

    What is the status on (electricity) conducting metal aerogels?
    I have a couple of applications in mind & on paper where this, or another conducting foam, is needed. :)

    (I have not listened through the podcast yet.)

    I am interested for metallic aerogels for aeronautical (experimental) applications
