MIT Researchers Develop New Lightweight, Strong Graphene Material

Recently, a group of MIT researchers developed one of the strongest, yet lightweight materials known today, by compressing and fusing flakes of graphene. Graphene, thought to be the strongest of all known materials, is a two-dimensional form of carbon, touted as a "wonder material," and is notoriously difficult to make in large quantities. Until now, researchers have had a difficult time turning its two-dimensional strength into three-dimensional materials. But MIT's newly designed material, a sponge-like configuration of graphene, can be ten times stronger than steel, with a density of just five percent.
