Aerogel is not a specific mineral or material with a set chemical formula-rather, the term is used to encompass all materials with a specific geometrical structure. As aerogel has such diverse chemical and physical properties, it is no surprise that it also has a wide range of applications. Aerogel is being used to capture this comet dust, as it will be able to trap the small particles without physically altering them. When the particle hits the aerogel, it will be traveling at speeds of up to 6 times that of a rifle bullet, which means most substances would not be able to slow the dust down without heating and thus alteration taking place.
