Super Materials - Buckypaper is 500x Stronger Than Steel
Buckypaper is 500x Stronger Than Steel

10 times lighter and 500 times stronger than steel. 50,000 times thinner than a human hair. It’s called Buckypaper, a thin, flimsy paper-like material that is constructed from tube-shaped carbon molecules. It conducts electricity and disperses heat. In short, it is a super material that may soon change the way aircraft, automobiles, and computers are designed - as further research finds a way to make more of it… and cheaper.
