The Glories of Nanotechnology

Metallic microlattice is a thing. It's 99.99% air, making it even lighter than aerogel. However, it's much stronger than steel, thus making it far superior to the otherwise brittle aerogel. This stuff can stop a high power bullet, and it's light enough to rest on the top of a dandelion

Though it's not like aerogel ain't cool. Amazing what it can do!

Speaking of aerogel, did you know graphene has been turned into an aerogel as well?



Aerographene, it's called.
