ISRO Scientists developed a new silica aerogel to keep Soldiers warm in freezing temperatures of Siachen

          Indian scientists at Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre in Thiruvananthapuram, India’s premier rocket lab have created a new way of keeping our soldiers warm in the freezing temperatures of Siachen. They developed silica aerogel or blue air and is the world’s lightest material.  The aerogel can not only useful on earth useful in space too owing to its excellent thermal resistance. This material is also sometimes referred to as frozen smoke and it is so delicate that it can even be placed on flower’s head. This material is very useful for those who work in extremely cold environments.

           Apart from this lightest material have also multiple uses as it can also be used to insulate rocket engines. What remains to be highlighted here is this aerogel could have possibly the life of Lance Naik Hanamanthappa Koppad and his fellow soldiers’ lives from the frozen bite that took their lives.
