Very interesting work well described in this article. Could change building termal isolation levels dramatically.

I'm really excited about this. Costing as little as $7.44 per square meter, this new nanoscale material is also biodegradable under the right conditions. It's also super strong (a strength-to-weight ratio that's about eight times that of steel) and heat-insulating. This is a material to keep an eye on. It could radically alter the construction industry - and probably has a lot of other applications that we can't yet see.
