...a show on PBS..or some station, i want to say nova. but anyways, it was about this material, in some states this material was almost weightless, was a perfect insulator, stronger than steel. yet it looks like a piece of glue or clear rubber. one instance they had a piece, maybe 1sq ft x 1" thick, on this man's hand, and a blow torch on the other side..no burns to the man, and the material showed no burns.. i want to say it was called liquid smoke, or something.. in another state, it was biodegradable, edible even, still almost weightless, they were talking about making bags out of this. any ideas? maybe i ate some good mushrooms..
