The field of Science is fascinating as with each passing day, a new hypothesis, theory, application, inventions surface which helps people change their outlook towards life and other aspects. In a recent attempt made by a team of researchers at MIT, 10 times stronger than steel, the strongest material is known to man has been invented.

It's about Graphene, which in an extremely thin sheet of carbons atoms in the two-dimensional arrangement is considered to be the strongest material, however, the three-dimensional arrangement of Graphene gave the world this new element. The reports are further elaborated by MIT as per which, the newly invented element is the strongest yet the most lightweight material known with sponge-like configuration.

The research provided a clear proof of the usefulness of 3D geometry of any element which can translate into a lightweight and strong material. MIT published the research papers in "Science Advances" journal. As per the findings, the 2D arrangement is a one-atom thick sheet of carbon which gives exceptional strength; however, it is the 3D arrangement which provides extraordinary strength which can be used in building devices, vehicles, and more.

Futurism reported the statement made by Markus Buehler who headed the research as per which, the users can use the real graphene material in any objects or use the Graphene in 3D geometry like metals or polymers, etc. The new material will result in strong and sound structures of Bridges and Buildings and due to its lightweight, the constructions will be easy enough.

The new material is porous in nature and hence, it can be used in filtration systems thereby diminishing the use of Desalination plants which are expensive. The new findings have opened new possibilities as it can be used as Metals and Polymers. "[it] shows a promising direction of bringing the strength of 2-D materials and the power of material architecture design together", Huajian Gao - a professor of engineering at Brown University said.
