Someone really needs to experiment w/ using the granulated kind as stuffing in a speaker:

Pricey, but I bet you could get some cool results with it- completely kill the backwave in a tiny sealed box, for example.
I nominate Ben.

That's some wild looking stuff. Wonder when the technology will trickle down enough that those of us without a NASA budget can fool around with it.Wristwatch--->Crisco

It has great properties in terms of weight and heat resistance.
This does not mean it'll be good at dispersing sound energy. I'll stick to traditional stuffing(polyfill and fiberglass) for now. -
Audax has a line of drivers with an Aerogel cone, but I don't know if it is the same material.
