Graphene is the strongest material ever tested, [7] [8] with an intrinsic tensile strength of 130 GPa (19,000,000 psi) (with representative engineering tensile strength ~50-60 GPa for stretching large-area freestanding graphene) and a Young's modulus (stiffness) close to 1 TPa (150,000,000 psi).
The mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes reveal them as one of the strongest materials in nature. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are long hollow cylinders of graphene . Although graphene sheets have 2D symmetry, carbon nanotubes by geometry have different properties in axial and radial directions.
Limpet teeth have beaten out the previous record-holder for the strongest biological material found in nature: spider silk. Researchers found the limpets' teeth contain goethite, which is a hard ...
This material is very strong for its weight, and was originally developed for use in racing yacht sails under the name 'Cuben Fiber'. More recently it has found new applications, most notably in the manufacture of lightweight and ultralight camping and backpacking equipment such as tents, backpacks, and bear-proof food bags.

The nanolattice is a material class that emerged after 2015. Nanolattices redefine the limits of the material property space. Despite consisting of 50-99% air, nanolattices are mechanically robust because they take advantage of size-dependent properties generally seen in nanoparticles, nanowires, and thin films.
Buckypaper is a thin sheet made from an aggregate of carbon nanotubes [1] or carbon nanotube grid paper. The nanotubes are approximately 50,000 times thinner than a human hair. The nanotubes are approximately 50,000 times thinner than a human hair.
