"Scientists have invented a new material that is so lightweight it can sit atop a fluffy dandelion without crushing the little fuzzy seeds.
It's so lightweight, styrofoam is 100 times heavier."

is it lighter than a fly?

They are talking about density. If a fly was the size of that scaffold, it would obliterate that dandelion.

Hmm until this it was aerogel. I have a bag of that sitting on my shelf... great for diffusing light in my light shows.
