Why give the Mail the traffic? [url= http://www.wired.com/beyond_the_beyond/2013/03/graphene-aerogel-worlds-lightest-substance/ ]Wired have it too[/url].

A good insulator but like other aerogels not much cop under stress.
Other graphenes may be along to be of more use.

Will bikes made from very thin tubes be the future?
Or would they be TOO light for off road?

I've handled some of that stuff, light and insubstantial, a careless touch would crush it.

(edit) - that's the earlier aerogel btw
