REF: solid object lighter than air

[Sandy Johnson <bjsjohns@buffnet.net>]

Hi everyone,

As a KidsConnect volunteer, I have received a question that has me
stumped.  I hope you can help.  Three students from Japan would like the
name of the solid object that is lighter than air.  They believe it was
in the news a few years ago and was developed by American scientists.
It is some sort of substance that can float on a bubble without bursting
it.
My searching on the net using a variety of combinations of words has
gotten me nothing.  Help.  Thanks.
