Scientists Created the Lightest and Strongest Nanomaterial Ever


The possibilities are endless.

In order to develop this substance, Filleter and his team figured out how to teach an AI to recognize the best configurations of nanostructures, which would weigh next to nothing without sacrificing strength. Its lightness also means that any vehicle made out of it—from cars to rockets —could move faster with less fuel, cutting costs and promoting sustainability. Her work has appeared in Ars Technica, SYFY WIRE, Space.com, Live Science, Den of Geek, Forbidden Futures and Collective Tales.
