Liquid nitrogen ice cream:
Liquid nitrogen (LN) is an extremely cold (-196c) colorless, odorless nitrogen gas.
It is used for many temperature-releated applications, including freezing foods and cooling down superconductors to minimize friction and allow levitation.
Recently, liquid nitrogen causes the fat and the water particles of the various ingredients used to make ice cream to stay very small, giving the ice cream its creamy consistency.

Aerogel:
Aerogel is 99.8% space. There is so much space that a 1-inch cube has an internal surface area to cover an entire football field.
The material currently holds 15 entries in the Guinness Book of Records for its properties.
Sometimes referred to as ‘frozen smoke'. It is a fantastic insulator that can hold a stack of wax crayons while being heated from below.
Graphene:
Graphene has become one of the most vibrant fields of research in materials science, nanotechnology, condensed matter physics and engineering.
Graphene is a one atom thick layer of carbon atoms arranged in a honeycomb lattice.
Since 2004 It has been exploited for various applications.
Electrical current in graphene moves faster than any other known material, and it is the best thermal conductor.
Moreover, it is the thinnest known material, as well as the strongest and most flexible.
A single layer of graphene is nearly transparent and gases and liquids cannot permeate through, indicating its great inertness and chemical stability.
Carbon Nanotubes:
Carbon figures quite heavily in this list of future materials, and carbon nanotubes are an amazing example of it.
The nanotubes are long chains of carbon held together with a bond stronger than that of a diamond.
The properties include ballistic electron transport, making them ideal for all types of electronics.
They are also 300 times stronger than steel.
This strength makes the material ideal for something as out of this world as a space elevator. Imagine buildings stretching miles into the sky.
Metal foam:
Metal foam is created from adding a foaming agent and powdered titanium hydride to molten aluminum, which you then let cool.
This process produces a very strong substance which is very light, it's 75-95% empty space after all. Owing to its high strength-to-weight ratio, metal foams have been proposed as potential construction materials for space colonies.
Some of these metal foams can actually float in water, which could mean they would have applications for floating cities.
Artificial Spider Silk:
Spider silk has long been known to have amazing qualities, it is 5 times as strong as steel of the same weight.
Because it is a natural material, so far it has been difficult to synthesize it. That was until a Japanese company, Spiber, developed artificial silk made by bacteria fed on sugar, salt, and other micronutrients.
