9 of the 20 links in that article go back to the same press release. Quite a few more go back to the host site. The links about aerogel point to this 2018 paper on PubMed https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6403747/

This seems like it's either AI scraped and generated, or really bad reporting.

If they have an aerogel that is non toxic and environmentally stable I would love to see it. It's certainly possible but this article doesn't show it.
