OF THE
TIMES
Aerogels more generally are lattices that can be made out of various things through similar processes.That's why God invented string vests.
I was working at my Mom's place. We had removed the old carpeting only to discover beautiful well installed hardwood floors that never should have been covered with wall-to-wall carpeting. Anyhow, it was a time I said to my mom - let me help out with these floors. I was on the floor working my ass off and then after all the staples had been removed, it was time to put in some new "quarter round" along the perimeter for a nice seamless transition from floor to wall. This is when I did it - I never have been that good with a hammer on the floor, so to make it easier to put in the nails I was using a drill with a small bit to create a spot where the nail would go and make it easier for somebody lacking in precision in this specific skill. Well, needless to say I inadvertently - I really don't recall how this happened specifically other than I think I was "rushing" in my work more than advisable - drilled the bit right into the back of my foot - in the ankle area - sons of bitches that hurt, but I pulled the bit out and thought that was that - but turns out a bit of the bit actually broke off and remained within my foot. About 9 months later I think it was - I gave birth to that bit when it came out of the front of my foot! I'm not joking - that was as close as a "man" can get to giving birth I was thinking when I dug that thing out of my foot after having to break the skin and dig around in the bloody loose flesh!Oh well - live and learn - maybe now I've learned enough how not to rush needlessly such that I can go sockless - at least during the summer!
Aerogels are types of gels where the liquid is replaced by air. They were invented in the 1930s and have been used for a variety of applications, including NASA space vehicles. Because of their positive thermal properties, materials scientists have been trying to make fibers using them that could be used to create warm textiles. Thus far, such attempts have mostly failed, however, due to a lack of moisture permeability and strength. In this new study, the research team in China has found a way to overcome both problems.Haven't these people heard of cashmere?
Man - we could of done this in the us of a.....
but now we are behind cause the best scientist up and coming ain't from merica any more - odds are...

In the day, many fine chemical engineers came out of the us of a....but not so much anymore.
Still - no harm in copying a good idea is there?
~
I got some ideas regarding cellulose acetate - but I'll keep them tight till the time is proper I reckon - that may be never...
never - forever - what is the difference when the zigaboos are running loose...

odds are when you can replicate what nature does you are one step closer to optimization...
thats what I think....and bear fur is a good thing to replicate.
