We review recent results on the effect of a specific type of quenched disorder on well known O(m)-vector models in three dimensions: the XY model (3DXY, m = 2) and the Ising model (3DIS, m = 1). Evidence of changes of criticality in both systems, when confined in aerogel pores, is briefly refere...
