Material with high strength-to-weight ration

(OP)
I am looking for a comparison of materials with high strength-to-weight ratios, is there a website or otehr publication that may help me find and compare materials that fit my criteria?

If you have any access to Ashby charts or any of his (Ashby's) texts on materials selection you might find them really useful.
