Abacwaningi base-University of Bath e-United Kingdom bathole ukuthi ukulengisa i-aerogel esakhiweni sezinyosi senjini yendiza kungafeza umphumela omkhulu wokunciphisa umsindo. Isakhiwo esifana ne-Merlinger sale nto ye-aerogel silula kakhulu, okusho ukuthi le nto ingasetshenziswa njengesivikelo engxenyeni yenjini yendiza ngaphandle kokuthinta isisindo sayo sonke.
Njengamanje, iNyuvesi yaseBath e-UK ithuthukise into ekhanyayo kakhulu ye-graphene, i-graphene oxide-polyvinyl alcohol aerogel, enesisindo esingamakhilogremu angu-2.1 kuphela nge-cubic meter, okuyizinto zokuvikela umsindo ezilula kakhulu ezake zenziwa.
Abacwaningi eyunivesithi bakholelwa ukuthi le nto inganciphisa umsindo wenjini yezindiza futhi ithuthukise induduzo yabagibeli. Ingasetshenziswa njengento yokuvikela ngaphakathi kwezinjini zezindiza ukunciphisa umsindo ngama-decibel angu-16, ngaleyo ndlela yenze izinjini zejethi zikhiphe ama-decibel angu-105. Ukuduma kwama-decibel kusondele kakhulu kumsindo womshini wokomisa izinwele. Njengamanje, ithimba locwaningo lihlola futhi lithuthukisa le nto ukuze linikeze ukusatshalaliswa kokushisa okungcono, okuhle ekusebenzeni kahle kukaphethiloli nokuphepha.
Abacwaningi abahole lolu cwaningo bathi baphumelele ekwakheni izinto ezincane kangaka ngokusebenzisa inhlanganisela yoketshezi ye-graphene oxide ne-polymer. Lezi zinto ezivelayo ziyinto eqinile, kodwa ziqukethe umoya omningi, ngakho-ke azikho imikhawulo yesisindo noma ukusebenza kahle maqondana nenduduzo nomsindo. Ukugxila kokuqala kwethimba locwaningo ukubambisana nabalingani bezindiza ukuhlola umphumela walezi zinto njengento yokuvikela umsindo yezinjini zezindiza. Ekuqaleni, zizosetshenziswa ensimini yezindiza, kodwa zingasetshenziswa nakwezinye izinkambu eziningi njengezimoto kanye nokuthuthwa kolwandle kanye nokwakhiwa. Zingasetshenziswa futhi ukwenza amaphaneli ezindiza ezinophephela emhlane noma izinjini zezimoto. Ithimba locwaningo lilindele ukuthi le airgel izongena esigabeni sokusetshenziswa zingakapheli izinyanga ezingu-18.
