Summary: Aerogel which is a material that is 37 times better than fiberglass as insulation could also be used to be the perfect cleanup tool for oil spills. Its low density and mostly air make-up makes it perfect to absorb a lot of oil.

Response: Too bad this product isn't in large scale production because the current oil spill is very tragic.
