Default World Record: Lightest Material in the World Produced
Pretty amazing. A lot of technological and practical use will be derived from this.

ScienceDaily (July 17, 2012) — A network of porous carbon tubes that is three-dimensionally interwoven at nano and micro level -- this is the lightest material in the world. It weights only 0.2 milligrams per cubic centimetre, and is therefore 75 times lighter than Styrofoam, but it is very strong nevertheless. Scientists of Kiel University (KU) and Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH) have named their joint creation "Aerographite."

World record: Lightest material in the world produced
I see a major health hazard if the material can be crumbled. Easily inhaled, probably next to impossible to remove from the lungs.
