Graphene Aerogel

Caption

A square sample of 3-D printed graphene aerogel is so lightweight that a wheat plant's individual awn can hold it without bending. The material -- developed by engineers from Kansas State University, the University at Buffalo and Lanzhou University in China -- has been declared the lightest 3-D printed material in the world by GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS.
