On April 9, 2013, Chinese scientists unveiled graphene aerogel, the world’s lightest material! Weighing just 0.16 milligrams per cubic centimeter, it’s so light it can rest on a flower without bending the petals. But despite its weight, this carbon-based material is incredibly strong, elastic, and highly absorbent—capable of soaking up 900 times its own weight in oil! Its potential uses range from cleaning up oil spills to improving batteries and even space technology.
