If you’re here and you previously knew what Aerogel was, congrats.
I only heard about it, never knew it was for space
I just heard it’s the lightest solid, designed by NASA. Never knew for what
I never even knew it was designed by NASA or what it was used for. I think all the videos I saw of it was like CZcamsrs experimenting with it or something 😂
I knew it as a crazy good insulator
Yes! I actually heard in one of NileRed’s videoo
Whenever i see aerogel i feel like eating it
Like a foamier version of that pink insulation forbidden cotton candy...
you probably are
🎉🎉🎉
Ugh I never wanted to eat it but I wanna hold it so bad but my kids would totally eat it 😭
@@never_give_up90 do y'all never think about how this stuff gets made and disposed of?! do you know anything about the soil crisis? do you know where your food comes from? why did you have kids?
To get a bit more specific, NASA didn’t invent Aerogel, NASA developed ways of creating aerogels that are polymer-reinforced. Samuel Kistler invented Aerogel near 30 year before NASA existed.
He is truly one of the greatest scientists to ever live, and Aerogel is hands down one of the most potentially amazing things ever created.
Want to clarify that I’m not trying to be a dick, just realized how snobby that comment sounded, it’s just å legitimately insane fact that the super near sci fi material was invented before we had Polaroid cameras.
@@nicksoutforharambe lots of crazy and impressive stuff existed before even computers were dreamed up.
If you think about it, crazy stuff was actually pretty common. Millions of parts in a battleship... And not a single thing was made using computer-aided design or simulated engineering...
@@nicksoutforharambe You don't seem like a dick. You seem like someone trying to calm a spastic person down with facts. Soothing.
To get even more specific: he made airogel because of a bet with an other scientist that he couldn’t make something in fast form that was that lightweight
@@Unmannedairanalogue and mechanical systems are amazing
you forgot to say that its also super light and the best heat insulator
I’m a mechanical insulator and I’ve worked with Aerogel in the field. I just hope they were wearing masks when interacting with it lol
@@RyanFogarty-xf3nb is it like an asbestos level dangerous? (just my deduction)
@@Dodonkomaybe the particles but I think it’s more for not getting fiberglass in their system but I may be wrong
And they originally designed it to build the atomic bomb
@@InfiniteBubbles no they did not. It was designed on a bet. They may have used it on an atomic bomb, but it is completely not designed for that.
*puts on nerd glasses*
Correction: Samuel Kistler invented Aerogel in the early 1930s.
You can lookup his published paper in Nature (vol. 127, p. 741) from 1931 titled
"Coherent Expanded Aerogels and Jellies"
He sadly passed away in 1975 shortly before the resurgence of interest in aerogels due to the discovery of a less-time consuming method of manufacture by france researchers led by Stanislaus Teichner.
NASA indeed utilizes aerogel for various applications and they did contribute significantly to the advancement of aerogel tech in the aerospace field.
But the actual invention was done much earlier.
Lets not forget the credits of the actual pioneers, especially when educating people and updating them about ongoing developments.
Lol not a minor detail. The video claims aerogel was invented for the Stardust mission, and it absolutely was not. Seems like she either has bad sources or just made assumptions and put it online as a fact.
@@mattw1829 You're right, crediting correctly isn't a minor detail. I edited it accordingly.
Of course aerogel has changed drastically atleast the one NASA is developing and contributed to.
But especially educational content should get the pioneers about any invention right.
I investigated Aerogel back in the early 1980s for its flame resistance properties
@@thomasott5899Cool! How'd it go?
It’s speculated that “fog bank”, a top secret material used in nuclear bombs during the 1900s was also an aerogel but the process to create it was lost
This is frustrating because this is not why aerogel was invented nor was it it's first use by NASA. Aerogel is an amazing insulator since it's mostly porous and so it was used to keep rocket fuel at cryogenic temperatures, rather than to catch space dust. Long before that it was invented in 1931 by Samuel Kistler, and has since been improved and adapted.
I learned this through a NASA documentary.
I don't think anyone is talking about an aerogel bag.
Never even heard of the bag, let alone talking about it.
It has been talked about quite a bit in the fashion side of CZcams I watch both genres regularly hence why people might not have seen it though I don't know what you guys watch other than science videos
There’s people talking about it! You’re just not on the same side of the internet as “fashion girlies” which were the ones initially excited by the bag
_"Women"_
A bag that cant be used. The stuff is brittle af
Aerogel was invented by Steven Kistler in 1931. As far as I'm aware, NASA was founded in 1958.
You could Google why she said this. But you didn't.
I also knew about this without googling it. Actually, I knew about it through a JPL documentary who actually were the ones that "designed" it, and by design, I mean modify.
Actually the fact that she did not credit the actual person you created The original it is kind of the issue here. Very dishonest video. And they are absolutely correct aerogel is a modified version of the original it's not even as durable. You could actually Google and get the facts correct instead of coming on here in fanboy Fashion and trying to protect somebody who literally is not giving the correct information. I see 100,000 lights on this video it's 100,000 people that do not know that it was actually invented by Steven Kistler@@Fipsh
The ideas are very fascinating man on top of that brilliant. He saw the potential of what it could do and it worried him. rightfully so @@siriusleigh24
NASA was founded by Wernher von braun who was a SS Nazi and came over after WW2 along with 1,600 Nazi scientists who went into branches of government during Operation Paperclip. So if you can put 2 & 2 together on who runs the UNITED STATES CORPORATION… Cheers
No, we obviously invented aerogel so we could finally make the prawn suit to fight the ghost leviathan
Fellow subnautica enjoyer.
@@aidansimmons8363 Of course.
If you're getting deja vu, yes this video is a reupload
Yeah, but any idea why the original was removed? I asked a few places but could never get an answer.
NASA is literally full of people who grew up wanting to be astronauts but will never make it to space 😂
Damn, NASA has some hidden Gel sack farms
Only problem, she's incorrect about who invented aerogel as we know it now. I only know it was Lawrence Livermore Laboratory because I was local to the city it was located in and went to a field trip there as a child.
"Late 1980s - Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) prepared the world's lowest density silica aerogel (actually the lowest density of any solid material). The aerogel had a density of 0.003 g/cm3, which is only three times the density of air."
-Western Oregon University
When I find someone I'm willing to spend the rest of my life with I want them to nerd about things just like she does before I go to sleep cuz this is so relaxing for no reason
She's not such a nerd she didn't even say who invented this because it wasn't nasa
It's been around since the 30's and this was not the first use of it. It was even used in nuclear weapons.
The way you express things is just awesome.
It's called "hyper over emotional fraudulent intelligence".
There's a special word for people like her but I'm not going to use it!
She's a nepo baby married a very rich person and got a degree to pretend like she's intelligent on CZcams.
You have to really look into these people before you listen to anything they say 🤥
The areogel she is talking about was made by NASA through advancements so its a different type of aerogel now but the direct medium where aerogel originated is what many lackies in the comments are complaining about.
That's correct. They are a class of product however, NASA did not invent the original aerogel. This was created by someone called Steven Kistler in the early 1930s. Regardless, they are an extraordinary range of produces and Kistler definitely deserves acknowledgment. I mean, we're talking of a product so useful and yet nearly 100 years old. One of a few materials from that era that have only become more useful.
@@annakeye Samuel Kistler
@@NeilThe604Atheist Actually, we're both right. He was referred to as 'Steven'. His full name is Samuel Stephens Kistler.
So NASA didn't invent it they improved it. Why didn't she say that?
I'll hold the mirror for you!.
You one of the best CZcamsrs out there. More power to you.❤
Seen many videos of people using it for making stuffs but thanks for telling us why the made it
My wife has that bag after winning a blind auction.
Aerogel in a fashion show?! The material certainly has a beautiful, ethereal look to it.
Organic compounds in comets, oh my God!
In chemistry organic means containing carbon, not originating from a life form.
@@CoffeeSnepeven knowing they have those opens up a lot of possibilities, including having organic volatile compounds that could've been synthesized from biological life
The term in chemistry is really a general idea of something, but it does mean it's made by life, the idea of saying organic compounds without explaining is clickbait.
@@lorenzmaut3708 not quite clickbait, since it wasnt in the title, but i see your point
@@CoffeeSnepwhew! I thought it had like, dead alien bodies in it! 👽
Something must be seriously wrong with society if it decides that talking about a weird bag is more important than aknowledging a technological feat that helped us understand our universe more.
Society is just a loose collection of hairless apes
Or maybe modern goings on are more noteworthy in the public eye, regardless of merit, than events that occured 25 years ago?
@@andrewkvk1707 you've missed the point of my comment. I'm saying that it's bad that people talked less about aerogel when it was first revealed 25 years ago compared to the number of people talking about the aerogel handbag today.
@@KuroHebi
It's temporary. Yes people don't care about space for now but a few decades later, space is only going to get more mainstream.
Nilered taught me way too much about aerogel, but not this part.
Samuel Stephens Kistler was the inventor of aerogel, and despite having many jobs, he never worked for nasa
That "bag" literally couldn't hold a single cellphone 😂
"GoD CreAtEd EvEryThiNG"
Yes,but have you ever read a recipe to make something? Without knowing the ingredients and how they went together to make whatsoever, you wouldn't be able to.
That's what science does it looks at things and how it's made to understand how it was made.
Not everything... Your worldview says that God did not create himself...
Your worldview doesn't address the basic question of WHAT IS GOD?
@@garypalmer2066 Ever wondered how recipes were made? From accidents. People clumsily mixing things with other things not knowing what they’re doing.
"Burrry"
Lmao
Random interstellar virus riding this particles:
I remember reading about this in an issue of NatGeo. The title of that issue was “Our Wild, Wild Solar System”.
Subnautica taught me about its existence
"But why we made it is even cooler." Truest words.
The fact that we made aerogel is cooler than getting comet fragments, I just want to eat it
This is one of the best shorts I've seen in a while
Finally, a fashion bag that is somewhat practical
Thank you for all these Science minute videos. All amazing subjects, and your enthusiasm is infectious.
I knew about aerogel but not the comet catching! Very cool, thank you!
The spacecraft they used also crashed back on earth because they installed an accelerometer upside down. Ot was supposed to deploy measures to slow its decent then land similar to the mars mission with the airbags to cusion the landing. We almost had nothing from that mission.
Love your content! I learn so many cool things watching your vids. Thank you!
Thank you for creating this channel ❤
I love the idea of using aerogel as an insulating material for construction. The carbon silicon version.
Its also used as an insulating material. Since its 99% air its REALLY bad at conducting heat
I've felt aerogel before! It's wild. The closest likeness I can really make to it is styrofoam.
That aerogel, and the reason, is super cool...idk why I enjoy learning more as an adult, than I did as a child.
The way you talk is delicious. The way in which you articulate the words sounds great to me. I know, I know, a comment a little off topic, but I am practicing my english.
A handbag for fashion show!?😂
Just love you and your videos❤❤❤❤
Every time I click on a notification from you I just HOPE its a full video not a short… ur vids r too good
Your videos and passion make me very happy, just wanted to let you know 🍻
Love your work.
I adore this channel.
It's also an incredible insulator, It can be used in small amounts to prevent overheating on the surface of unmanned landers or even landing pods
Aerogel is also used as an intermediary in hydrogen bombs
I honestly never knew this! Thank you for the new information!
Don't care if this is a re-upload, it's always nice to see Cleo smiling
Imagine going for a jog, just to get headshotted by a baby comet
Never heard about this for over 20 years, thanks for sharing! Interesting and informative as always
It's even the best insulator in the world
Humanity has never left earth without help.
NASA didn't invented aerogel but perfected it.
Aerogel is also a fantastic insulator, and since it's so light, it's probably the most efficient insulating material ever created
whats even cooler(no pun intended) is that its being implemented in heat shielding for space applications in suits and crafts
As someone who spent an entire middle school semester learning about aerogel. I’m pretty sure it wasn’t invented by NASA. At least not directly.
They invented better methods for creating new types.
Once you know how aerogel is made you know that bag is flippin WILD
Getting physics lectures from Cleo would be phenomenal ❤❤❤
I could hear all the words you said this time. Cool! Thanks.
Areogels also do not transfer heat, which is another nigty and useful property.
Your videos are always fascinating and I love your genuine enthusiasm and boundless curiosity. Can a few pieces of aerogel be purchased? It looks like such a unique material and I didn’t know it existed until now.
That stuff would make amazing soundproofing. Not only an insulator, but one that’s so soft, it can move WITH the sound waves and destructively interfere.
Wow that sure cured cancer, good find nasa
Love seeing how aerogel is getting used in various fields.
This stuff would revolutionize commercial drones lol
Literal comet catcher nah but hand bag there ya go😌
Oh my God first of all I love your video clip. I clicked on subscribe your energy your enthusiasm about what you’re talking about is awesome. Your beauty is a second wonderful thing to look at not listening to you how intelligent you are and with what you’re speaking about you’re also beautiful young lady and I’m not old by saying young ladies just out of respect, keep up the great work. I’m looking forward to some more videos from you again I subscribed until next time John from South Jersey the good part lol
While the rest of us have to wait for one to hit the ground
I love this video but I also love your Monstera back there. How old is it?
Puzzling how looking for life outside is priority then you casually hear there is organic matter on a comet
Great info 👍
I remember seeing this sample getting returned to Earth in 06 on the news, it was really cool.
Live you and your explanation of all things science ❤😮
Didnt the Neil science guy make this stuff too? Super fun video
This video gets a silver medal in mental gymnastics
"that bag looks super cool! What's it made of?"
"Oh nothing much, just the same stuff that NASA uses to catch comet dust"💀
It looks so soft, it makes me want to touch it. But it probably isn't
I didn't know they made a bag out of aerogel, but it sure is innovative and cute
Oh you caught organic samples in it too? Cool! Definitely bring that back to Earth because I’ve never seen a sci-fi horror flick before.
Wow so they got comet samples and decided Pluto was a dwarf planet on my birth year. Lol
The ones at the beginning kinda looked like boats riding through an ocean
Good waterproofing and temperature isolating material
before clicking the video I knew it was a huge if true because of the topic and the green arrow! 🚀
NASA discovers ballistic gel
I watched Nilered make it and thought it was super cool. Was unaware of why they originally made it though.
So very interesting thank you so much for sharing
Prawn suit there I go!
The amount of times i near skip over a cleo abram short because the thumbnail doesn't catch my eye or it is not cleo/HIT branded, really frustrates me! They're so good, i want to watch them all and never miss one!
i could listen to you everyday😆
Full on subbing cuz science
Very exciting!!❤
Nice stuff... nice stuff
Yes, we see that engagement ring. Lucky dude.
Imagine an aerogel running shoe. I'd buy it for sure.
Didn't know this. Awesome
