The topic is quite interesting but the vid, although beautifully edited, is light on content.
The interviewees briefly mention few applications of the aerogel but no concrete examples unfortunately.
Does anyone know where to find more info on the topic?
This nasa link was in the video description: https://www.nasa.gov/topics/technology/features/aerogels.html
Not too much more information, but it seems the main property used will be: "They are light, durable and extremely effective at insulating and preventing heat transfer."
