This patented nano-encapsulated aerogel technology was developed by engineers at the Johnson Space Center. Aerogel, nicknamed solid smoke, has been used in a variety of space missions for its properties as the lowest-density solid known.
Planned uses include vaccine refrigerators for remote locations and refrigerated containers for transporting food to U.S. troops.
