Aerogel

Well, after seeng it on TV I had to have some. This is really odd stuff, brittle like polystyrene, ridiculously light (97% air), see through and has amazing insulating properties.

It's expensive stuff, a little block like that was $60 (I had some spare in my Paypal account) available from www.buyaerogel.com

I got it posted to a mate in the US who was sending me a box of stuff, otherwise they want $25 to ship to the UK.
