Considering smoke in the solid form.
A group of scientists have engineered a new form of "frozen smoke" that could potentially detect pollutants, store energy, and improve robotic surgeries. Frozen smoke is popular term used for aerogel, a manufactured material originally created in 1931 by Samuel Stephen Kistler, which has the lowest bulk density of any known porous solid. In fact, aerogel holds 15 titles in the Guiness Book of World Records, including 'best insulator' and 'lowest density solid'.
Considering the different forms that smoke can take (or appear to take) and the properties behind each form to inform design ideas. I would like to explore the idea that smoke can be contained.
