- 3D-Printed Material – Scientists at MIT created sponge-like 3D printed graphene using high resolution multi-material 3D printer
- Methodology – Combined heat and pressure to compress small flakes of graphene, producing various 3D models, and tested them for strength
- Strong and Lightweight – Had 5% density of steel, while having 10 times its strength, with weight lighter than air
- Applications – Include development of next-generation materials for airplanes, cars, buildings, and filtration devices
