aerogel,

any of a group of extremely light and porous solid materials; the lightest is less than four times as dense as dry air. Aerogels are produced from certain gels (see colloidcolloid
[Gr.,=gluelike], a mixture in which one substance is divided into minute particles (called colloidal particles) and dispersed throughout a second substance. The mixture is also called a colloidal system, colloidal solution, or colloidal dispersion.

In this state, the liquid may be removed from the gel by applying additional heat, without disrupting the porous network formed by the gel's solid component. The resulting aerogels are typically about 95–99% air. Aerogels have been produced from silica and other metal oxides, organic polymers, carbon, and other materials. Silica-based aerogels are among the lightest, and some, nicknamed "solid smoke" or "frozen smoke," are nearly transparent.

aerogel

[′e·rō‚jel] (chemistry) A porous solid formed from a gel by replacing the liquid with a gas with little change in volume so that the solid is highly porous.
