What do you get if you make a material from predominantly air entrapped within a very fine structure of porous carbon nanotubes? You get one of the worlds lightest materials - Aerographite. Scientists ...

German material scientists from Kiel University and the Hamburg University of Technology have created the world's lightest material, dubbed aerographite. One cubic centimeter of aerographite weighs ...

This release is available in German. A network of porous carbon tubes that is three-dimensionally interwoven at nano and micro level – this is the lightest material in the world. It weights only 0.2 ...

"Our work is causing great discussions in the scientific community. Aerographite weights four times less than world-record-holder up to now," study researcher Matthias Mecklenburg, of the Hamburg ...

What material is 75 times lighter than Styrofoam and could one day be used to reduce the weight of rechargeable car batteries? It's "Aerographite," now the lightest material in the world. The new ...

Aerographite exists as seen in the petri dish from over two years ago. It is 15000 times lighter than aluminum and making 1 micron pellets and releasing them from where we have already sent the Parker ...

While they were each once hailed as the lightest solid material ever made, metallic microlattice and aerogel have now been moved back to second and third place (respectively), with aerographite taking ...

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 ...

It looks like a wisp of smoke or even the work of a very confused spider, but this is actually a close up of the lightest material that has ever been created. Previous record holders include aerogel, ...

(Nanowerk News) A network of porous carbon tubes that is three-dimensionally interwoven at nano and micro level – this is the lightest material in the world. It weights only 0.2 milligrams per cubic ...
