Thanks to the expanded array of insulation options now on the market, an insulation upgrade can open up once-overlooked areas of your home into livable space. Establishing a budget—based on research ...

A new material that will make vehicles and buildings cooler and quieter compared to current insulation materials in the market has now been developed by researchers. Known as aerogel composites, this ...

There is nothing new about using cork as an insulating material; Fridtjof Nansen lined the Fram with a foot thick layer of the stuff, and almost got to the North Pole in it, while Amundsen used the ...

Homes may one day benefit from improved acoustic insulation with an orange flavor after researchers in Spain managed to turn waste material from orange trees into high-performance acoustic insulation.

(Nanowerk News) Super-insulating materials such as aerogels are expensive. At the same time, they offer a powerful advantage: the thinner the insulation of a building, the larger its usable area. An ...

Scientists are using the fibers from orange tree pruning as an acoustic insulator. Researchers have developed boards that, compared with the conventional gypsum boards, provide a 150% improvement in ...

Researchers from the RIKEN Center for Life Science Technologies and Chiba University have developed a high-temperature superconducting wire with an ultra-thin polyimide coating only 4μm thick, more ...

Starting this year, government support will be available for the installation of 'Aerogel Multi-layer Insulation Curtains' that can reduce heating costs in vinyl greenhouses by up to 20%. Although the ...
