Maybe they'd be made out of a material known as aerogel.

也许是由一种叫气溶胶的材料构成。

Plus, they're almost transparent, which means we could use aerogels to insulate windows here on Earth… when they get cheaper.

再加上它们几乎透明，这也就意味着我们可以在使用气凝胶，做窗户隔离......还是等它们便宜些吧。

Three of the microscopic grains are locked in a foam material called aerogel, from the outside covering of Stardust.

其中三个微粒被封闭在一个从外部覆盖着“星尘”号船的，名为“气凝胶”的泡沫材料里。

We can see lots of impacts into the aerogel. There are big ones and there are small ones.

我们可以看到气凝胶里有许多的撞击。有大的也有小的。

The aerogel in the Stardust was able to collect particles from the comet.

星尘号的气凝胶收集器能收集彗星颗粒。

Aerogels are one of the lightest solid materials in the world.

气凝胶是世界上最轻的固体材料之一。

Aerogels are great for insulation, because the air inside doesn't transfer heat very well.

气凝胶是绝佳的绝缘体，因为其内部气体不太能导热。

Aerogels are gels where all the liquid has been replaced with gas.

气凝胶是一种内部液体全部被气体替代的凝胶。

Aerogels are great for insulation, because the air inside doesn’t transfer heat very well.

气凝胶非常适合保温，因为内部的空气不善于传导热量。

And of course, during this flyby, Stardust had  its aerogel collector exposed, and it was rapidly collecting dust samples.

当然，在这次越过程中， 星尘号的气凝胶收集器暴露在外，它正在快速收集灰尘样本。

Got to look at them, and we got to look at that, the Aerojet General there, the aerogel.

得看看它们，还得看看那边的Aerojet General公司的气凝胶。

I mean, at that time, was new or aerogels, all of these different new experimental materials.

我的意思是，在那个时候，像气凝胶这样的新材料，以及所有这些不同的新型实验材料，都是崭新的。

Plus, they’re almost transparent, which means we could use aerogels to insulate windows here on Earth… when they get cheaper.

此外，它们几乎是透明的，这意味着我们可以使用气凝胶来隔热地球上的窗户… … 当它们变得更便宜的时候。

And of course, during this flyby, Stardust had its  aerogel collector exposed, and it was rapidly collecting dust samples.

当然，在这次越过程中， “星尘号” 将其气凝胶收集器暴露在外，迅速收集了尘埃样本。

That’s basically how scientists create aerogels: First, they make a gel out of something like silicon or carbon compounds.

科学家们制作气凝胶的基本方法是：首先，他们用硅或碳化合物等物质制成一种凝胶。

Without going into all the details, Kistler won his bet, and at the same time  invented the first aerogel.

无需赘述细节， 基斯特勒赢得了赌注，并同时发明了第一种气凝胶。

The trails left behind in the aerogel would  also be useful for scientists to spot where a particle had been captured.

气凝胶中留下的也有助于科学家发现粒子被捕获的位置。

Without going into all the details, Kistler won his bet, and at the same time invented  the first aerogel.

在没有详细说明所有细节的情况下， 奇石乐赢得了他的赌注，同时发明了第一个气凝胶。
