A new metal developed by a team of researchers from the University of California at Irvine, HRL Laboratories and the California Institute of Technology is pictured resting on a dandelion fluff without damaging it. The metal, which is about 100 times lighter than styrofoam, is the world’s lightest material, according to a press release by the team. Their findings will be published in the November 18, 2011 issue of “Science” journal.
