  • Scientists have developed Aerogel, a transparent heat-resistant super-insulating gel using beer waste. It may be used to build greenhouse-like habitats for human colonised on extra-terrestrial habitats such as Mars or Moon
  • It could be used on buildings on Earth to help make huge savings on energy costs, it can be also used in windows and extra-terrestrial habitats.
  • It enables to harvest sunlight through that thermally-insulating material and store energy inside, thus protecting from big oscillations in temperature especially on Mars or on the moon.
