El material más liviano del mundo está hecho casi completamente por aire


The carbon fiber and Kevlar we may seem two very thin materials, but they are nothing compared to the creations of latest technology in the military. It aerogel is somewhat impressive, but now there is a material of micro-red which has a very low density.


Imagine a solid cube of wood 3x3x3m, would be heavy, right? Now imagine that it is made of this new material. Do you know how much they will plague? Less than 0, 03 kg. It is a structure composed of hollow tubes whose walls are thousands of times thinner than a human hair.


Designed for DARPA by a large group of scientists, this material is capable of absorbing large amounts of energy, so it may have multiple applications, which includes being used in electrodes in batteries.


What name would put you the new material?
