Much has been spoken about the wonders of nanotubing of late, and now a whole new material has been made with the stuff. Buckypaper works as a kind of super-tough papier mache that can be used to make anything from aeroplanes and rockets to common household appliances. The amazing stuff is aimed to be eventually developed to be 500 times stronger than steel and 10 times lighter - imagine what you could build with that!
Lets just hope it doesn't go soggy and fall apart when wet, like regular papier mache.. More scientific details of the stuff at link.
