Combining the secrets that enable water striders to walk on water and give wood its lightness and great strength has yielded an amazing new material so buoyant that, in everyday terms, a boat made from 1 pound of the substance could carry five kitchen refrigerators, about 1,000 pounds.
These materials have really spectacular properties that could be used in practical ways.This will help in creating products such as sensors for detecting environmental pollution, miniaturized military robots, and even children’s toys and super-buoyant beach floats.
