  • Aerographite
    Last year, researchers at the University of California Irvine developeda material that was as strong as metalyet 100 times lighter than Styrofoam — but now a team of German scientists claim to have bested them with a new material called aerographite, which weighs in at a mere <strong>0.2 milligrams per cubic centimeter</strong>.
