9 of the 20 links in that article go back to the same press release. Quite a few more go back to the host site. The links about aerogel point to this 2018 paper on PubMed https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6403747/

This seems like it's either AI scraped and generated, or really bad reporting.

If they have an aerogel that is non toxic and environmentally stable I would love to see it. It's certainly possible but this article doesn't show it.

I would love this for my house, it’ll be 15 degrees over ambient by 7am in the summer from the smallest bit of sunlight

This could help reduce cooling costs. Can it be applied to existing houses?
