WHY THIS MATTERS IN BRIEF: Tomorrow's materials will be lighter, stronger and more flexible than todays, and that opens up a whole host of new applications.

The world's lightest 3D printed structure, a Graphene Aerogel, is so lightweight that it can be placed on top of a cotton ball or the petals of a flower, in fact it's so light that over 150 bricks of it are still lighter than a gallon of water. But that’s not all. It’s also stronger than steel, just 0.2 percent of the weight, and has the and that makes this amazing new material, whose aerogel cousins are already being used by NASA to create next generation space suits, and other companies, such as Oros to make highly protective thermal sports wear that can protect wearers down to a staggering -321 degrees Fahrenheit, a potential game changer.

The record breaking 3D printed graphene aerogel which Guinness World Records has recently named as "the world’s least dense 3D printed structure," was developed by Dong Lin, an Assistant Professor of industrial engineering, and his team at Kansas State University, along with colleagues Chi Zhou, an Assistant Professor of industrial engineering at University at Buffalo, and Qiangqiang Zhang, an Associate Professor at Lanzhou University in China. The 3D printed graphene aerogel weighs just 0.5 milligrams per cubic centimetre.

"Graphene is a revolutionary material and it makes sense that its aerogel form would be just as important," Lin said, "our 3D printed graphene aerogel has important properties that give the material many applications for better electronics, batteries or semiconductors."
