The article “World's Lightest Material Is a Metal 100 Times Lighter Than Styrofoam” talks about scientist making a very light material. Scientists managed to create the worlds lightest material. Its lighter than Styrofoam. This material, is 99.99% air and 0.01% solid. This material has an density of 0.9 micro grams. It was created at the UC Irvine laboratories. In conclusion, this paragraph talks about the lightest material in the world.
I think this is important because this material is so light. If we made an material like this we would be able to create a lighter vehicle. I think using this material we could make lighter aircrafts to fly in the atmosphere.
