2DPA-1 is as light as plastic and twice as strong as steel (Credit: MIT.edu)

A new material created by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers is being hailed as revolutionary. 2DPA-1 is as light as plastic and two times stronger than steel. Unlike currently available polymers, it can conduct electricity and block gas. The scientists believe 2DPA-1 can help lower our carbon footprint and perhaps even reduce the rampant use of disposable plastics.

    I think this might replace every building material in the world by 2050. All of the other brick, wood. steel. concrete would be all gone. You might be able to lift the entire building if your strong enough and move it to somewhere else.

      concrete may be old, but it still works. i doubt it would be completely replaced, but definitely helped out by this new material. the other things too, same thing.

          Too bad we don't know if it can be recycled or not.

                  It would be an invincible or an indestructible car.

                    I think we should make clothing out of this, but we can also focus on building on this to make a thinner and stronger piece of material.

                      I think making clothing out of this would be too rough for skin.
