new lightweight material (1 Viewer)

Researchers have created a material that's so light it can rest comfortably on a dandelion seed head without disturbing the fluffy, delicate structure of the plant. The new material is 100 times lighter than styrofoam, according to reports.

I'm no scientist but I'm pretty sure anything 100x lighter then styrofoam will never be shark proof, no matter how many layers you wrap around yourself.
