They've never heard Linkin Park, clearly, as a friend said on Faceballs.

Re: 'Microlattice' is the lightest-ever metal

So I guess what you can see is only the very outer surface of the structure. Because it just looks like chain link fence type stuff. At the thickness it is there is no way it is that light.

Given that it has no weight and doesn't seem to provide much strength I wonder what it could be used for?

It can't be structural at all. It only took the woman to squeeze it between her thumb and fingers to squash it. So using it to make a floor way in an aircraft isn't going to work.
