Paris: French designer Coperni made a bag out of NASA’s silica aerogel nano-material.
The material, used to capture dust in space and as a protective layer on the Mars rover, is now being used in fashion.
The world’s lightest solid material bag weighs only 33 grams. This weight is slightly more than the weight of six A4 size pages.
Although it looks a bit fragile, according to Koperni, the bag can easily support the weight of a user’s iPhone.
In a post on Instagram, Copernicus posted a photo of a semi-transparent bag he called the Airswipe Bag. According to the post, this bag is made of 99 percent air and 1 percent glass.
However, several questions were raised by social media users on its potential use.
A user asked what can be stored in this bag and does it break when dropped.
Another concerned user said that it is also used as a bag?
