Commercially, they are used in granular form to insulate skylights.
The best heat conductor is helium II. The poorest heat conductors are perlite and silica aerogel.
Yes, but only if you have the ability to reach temperatures greater than 1200 Celsius (2200 Fahrenheit) No It Cannot Melt.
Graphene aerogel - 0,16 mg/cm3 (7,5 less than air) Carbyne - 3430 mg/cm3
i would say lead but good luck lining your walls with that it is toxic. It IS the best soundproofing material known except for "Aerogel". It is only toxic if ingested.
Many things weigh less than a feather in the same way that a small stone is lighter than a large stone. This could include single hairs, snowflakes and short threadsIf you mean are there things with a lower specific gravity (mass per unit volume) than feathers, again yes. This could include aerogel, gases, and cotton fibres.
NO
regular (silica) aerogel is not lighter than air but SEAgel is a form of aerogel that is lighter than air
The most common use for Aerogel is for thermal insulation. Silica Aerogel has been used to help insulate the Mars Rover and protected all the wiring from the extreme temperatures it faces in outer space.

the aerogel
The proper spelling is aerogel. It is not specially capitalized at the beginning or in the middle, nor should it contain a hyphen or a space. The word has been in technical usage since 1931 and is not a tradename or proper noun. Common incorrect spellings include "Aerogel', "AeroGel", "aero-gel", "aero gel", and alternative phonetic spellings such as "airojell" and "aerojell".

Aerogel is 39 times more insulating than the best fiberglass ever made.
After the published tables the silica aerogel is a very good thermal insulator.
