Silica aerogel is a super light material that is great at keeping things warm or cool. Scientists are looking at how to make it stronger and more flexible so it can be used in more places. They found that adding fibers to aerogel makes it bendy and useful as a blanket. Also, mixing in special materials helps aerogel work better at high temperatures. This could make aerogel a top choice for keeping things insulated and stable in different conditions.
