Graphene aerogel is seven times lighter than air, can balance on a blade of grass

Chinese material scientists have created the world's lightest material: A graphene aerogel that is seven times lighter than air, and 12% lighter than the previous record holder (aerographite). A cubic centimeter of the graphene aerogel weighs just 0.16 milligrams -- or, if you're having a problem conceptualizing that, a cubic meter weighs just 160 grams (5.6 ounces). The graphene aerogel is so light that an cube inch of the stuff can be balanced on a blade of grass, the stamen of a flower, or the fluffy seed head of a dandelion (see pictures below).

By creating water resistant/vapor breathable barrier which allows moisture to evaporate away, DriWrap™ Super Insulation prevents corrosion under insulation. Applications include thermal piping and tanks in above and below grade applications from -273 up to 1,250°F. With low thermal conductivity and low water absorption, product is suited for situations where combination of moisture, physical abuse, or temperature will break down ordinary insulations.
