We have one life in the solid material world that is most perfectly measured by science.
They've shown that a synthetically grown sample of herbertsmithite crystal (what you see above) behaves as a quantum spin liquid: a material where fractional quantum states produce a liquid-like flux in magnetic orientations, even if the material is solid.

We actually got a Guinness Book of World Records for developing this lightest solid material in the world.
Proficient means students have a solid grasp of the material.
Both, the housing and the potentiometer control as well as the rotary switch for selecting the source are made of anodised aluminium, while the front panel of the housing and the controls are milled from solid material.

Turkey exports iron to Iran for use in the country's construction industry (a solid material vital for construction in a nation prone to earthquakes).

Some are distinguished by design or material, such as the nearly two pounds of solid gold that King Philip II of Spain attached to his profession of fealty to Pope Paul IV in 1555.

The rest of the vertical column is made from a material called syntactic foam - a solid made mostly of hollow "microballoons" - giving it enough buoyancy to float back up.
They did this by putting pieces of silicon or one of a number of other solid materials inside a shoe-box-sized cavity and zapping the material with microwaves from a metal tip.
The technology works by building up layer upon layer of material - typically plastic - to build complex solid objects.
That 3-D data then got plugged into a solid-modeling program where engineering parameters such as material, thickness and structure were assigned to the shape.
In 1931 American chemical engineer Samuel Kistler invented the lightest known solid--an aerogel--by drying a form of silicon dioxide (a raw material for glass) under intense pressure and high temperature.
