Honored to have had the chance to discuss the future of #space #entrepreneurship alongside @aurelia_labs founder Ariel Ekblaw, astronaut @AstroIronMike, Rodrigo Diez, and Jordan Wachs at the @mitaeroastro SpaceTech conference on Apr 7! What an inspiring/intimidating group! Thank you @DavaExplorer for the invite! @MIT

BREAKING: A hazardous chemical explosion at Aspen Aerogels, on Dexter Rd, has injured more than a dozen people, in East Providence, Rhode Island. This is a Mass Casualty Incident. (MCI)

Everyone has been removed from the building, as patients continue to be triaged as of this

[Boston 25 News @boston25]

City officials say around 8:14 pm on Wednesday, East Providence police were dispatched to the Aspen Aerogels facility on reports of an explosion and fire. 13 people have been transported to a nearby hospital and are deemed to have no major injuries. https://t.co/OBrLz9HAHb

Thoughts and prayers to the 13 employees injured in the explosion at @AspenAerogels East Providence plant. Our love and support to everyone affected.

we were recently on a podcast and i asked grok 4.1 to summarize the episode. query: can you summarize the science fare podcast with susan keatley about aerogel; result: couldnt find the episode and asserted it didnt exist. provided a link to acast for the podcast. the episode was definitely on that page.

next query: that acast page had it. 10. Stephen Steiner on All Things Aerogel and a Life in Science

Thursday, November 6, 2025 summarize; result: a detailed and lengthy summary with totally incorrect facts and things not discussed in the episode. like made up where the interviewee went to undergrad and made up a wrong phd advisor, which wasnt even discussed. a lot of back and forth arguing with grok about the made up facts ensued with repeated assertions the facts were true.

Aerogel adhesive tape? What a great idea! The easiest way to insulate tight spaces with space-age technology https://t.co/HTrDTQKA6t

Well, he apparently didn't understand how #aerogel is made in the only video we've ever seen him talk about it. He said it was made by spinning nanothin fiber into a wad or something. Not at all right. They are almost always made by extracting the liquid from a gel, which forms when a solution of dispersed nanoscale objects, or a sol, links together to form 3d network in the liquid, which is what we call a gel. Makes us question the other sciencey statements he makes off script.

@_SammyGirl__ @neiltyson If the goal is to assert a position that a faith is not scientifically supported, or whatever, mocking someone's faith never brings someone closer to your position--constructive dialog and introspective reflection do.

Transparent metal is now possible! Metallic aerogels composed of silver, gold, and copper can be made by force field directed physical vapor deposition of metal over a silica aerogel. Electrostatic field lines emanating from the aerogel guide incoming metal atoms where to go. https://t.co/3g5Eo8K7KQ

[Aerogel Technologies @aerogeltech]

Chemical vapor deposition needs a template in order to form a porous structure, but could be used to deposit an exterior layer. But physical vapor deposition can be used to make metal aerogels using a force field template generated by the electrostatic field lines in the air above a silica aerogel! Talk about magic! They can even fabricate transparent silver, gold, and copper. They can make nanoporous aluminum too but I don't know if transparent yet. https://t.co/3g5Eo8K7KQ

Love the deep dive @korea_ufo has done on air-buoyant solids aka vacuum balloons made with aerogel. We worked with Los Alamos National Laboratory to create prototypes and gave them the Airloy formulation to start aerogel development with. We will answer any and all questions.
