Aerogels are low density materials with a sponge-like structure that have a number of useful applications such as thermal and optical insulators. Researchers are particularly interested in #Graphene aerogels as they possess additional properties such as high compressibility and conductivity and have been touted as potential shock dampers, solid state batteries and catalysts.
