The use of aerogel by NASA for the Stardust mission has inspired Greek artist Ioannis Michaloudis to incorporate aerogel in his artwork, creating unique and attention-grabbing pieces.
Aerogel, consisting of 99% air, is the world's lightest solid and has been utilized in various forms from NASA missions to high fashion.
Michaloudis' journey with aerogel took him to institutions like MIT and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, where he explored the artistic potential of this material.
His collaboration with NASA scientists and engineers has led to the creation of aerogel-based art pieces that have been showcased in exhibitions and in the fashion world.
