TL;DR
Aerogel ("frozen smoke" appearance) strongly needed!
Hello!
I need to find a reliable (I mean serious) manufacturer of Aerogel, that can provide cylindrical bars of the material (the "frozen smoke", lightest type, not the heavy insulating mats used in buildings). Aerogel Technologies doesn't answer to any inquiry or phone call, so they are ruled out from the start.
Any idea?...

You probably have already done this, but I did a Google search on Aerogel cylinders, and the AI summary did list a couple of sources:

https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=Aerogel+cylinders
Sourcing: Available from specialized manufacturers like BuyAerogel.com and Aerogel Technologies
Have you tried BuyAerogel.com? Also, you can click on the "Shopping" tab at the top of the search page to see other potential suppliers.
 
It says density is .095g/cm3.

That means a one cubic metre of it (the size of a dishwasher) would mass 95kg. i.e. as much as a large, heavy human. I checked the numbers twice.

Have I misplaced a decimal somewhere?
