There are millions of applications for this technology. Outstanding.

If it has enough compressive strength to hold up car... imagine making a spherical shell from it. The shell can be quite thick, since it doesn't weigh anything. Put it in a vacuum chamber to suck out all the air, then cover it with an air tight coating, like aluminized mylar. Presto: the ball floats on air; no helium required.
Put a few hundred two-meter balls on a frame with a motor and fan -- I've finally got my flying car!

Sounds like I finally found the right insulation for cryogenic rocket propellant tanks. Than-you, NASA.

Way to go, NASA!

How about making a boat hull out of that stuff? Or a rocket or airplane fuselage? Think of how much more payload you could put up if you got rid of that dead weight!! Cars and trucks could get better fuel mileage, wind turbines could spin in less breeze and the list goes on and on!

You were comparing how well it insulates to fiberglass. Will this product be cheap enough to use as home insulation if made in bulk?

Super! Even if more costly, this has application whereever excellent insulation is needed but space is at a premium or unavailable.

@Joshua - for home insulation, there's no real need for the enhanced strength this technology provides - all it has to do is sit inside a wall cavity, entirely unstressed. 'Standard' aerogel panels are just fine - take a look on alibaba.com where there are plenty of companies selling architectural aerogel insulation panels.

Finally, maybe a decent insulated coffee mug.

Areogel is also available in a "pellet" form. The standard 3 inch wall cavity has an R value of about 30 with them. It is far more expensive than fiber glass but under some conditions may be well worth it. If production costs can be brought down to less than 3 x fiberglass it will win out.. If the energy cost is low it will dominate, fiber glass formation uses an incredible amount of energy and until recently cost more energy to produce than it saved.
