Airgel ndi chinthu cholimba chomwe chili ndi ntchito yabwino kwambiri yotchinjiriza kutentha, yokhala ndi mawonekedwe apadera monga malo okwera kwambiri, mabowo a nanoscale komanso kachulukidwe kakang'ono.Amadziwika kuti "zamatsenga zomwe zikusintha dziko lapansi", zomwe zimadziwikanso kuti "terminal heat preservation and insulation material", ndipo ndizomwe zimakhala zolimba kwambiri pakadali pano.Airgel ndi zinthu zomwe zili ndi mawonekedwe a nanonetwork atatu-dimensional porous, omwe ali ndi kachulukidwe kakang'ono, malo okwera kwambiri, okwera kwambiri, otsika kwambiri a dielectric, otsika matenthedwe matenthedwe ndi zina zakuthupi.Zili ndi mwayi wochuluka wogwiritsira ntchito posungira kutentha ndi kutsekemera, kutsekemera moto, kutsekemera kwa phokoso ndi kuchepetsa phokoso, optics, magetsi ndi zina.
