Ultralight material

Ultralight materials are solids with a density of less than 10 mg/cm³, including silica aerogels, carbon nanotube aerogels, aerographite, metallic foams, polymeric foams, and metallic microlattices. The density of air is about 1.275 mg/cm³, which means that the air in the pores contributes significantly to the density of the material.
