Jul 30, 2024 · Super-black materials are increasingly sought after in astronomy, where ultra-black coatings on devices help reduce stray light and improve image clarity. Super-black coatings can enhance the efficiency of solar cells. They are also used in making art pieces and luxury consumer items like watches.
Dec 5, 2023 · Materials with near-zero light reflectance, i.e. superblack materials, are sought to improve the performance of several light-centered technologies.
Jul 31, 2024 · Vantablack, which is the world's darkest material, could be in for some competition. Canadian scientists have created a super-black substance that has the potential to be cheaper, hardier and...
Aug 8, 2024 · Researchers at the University of British Columbia are staring into an abyss of their own making – a new "super-black" material that absorbs almost all visible light that reaches it.
Sep 6, 2024 · Black’s stock has never been lower. But for all his admirable idiosyncrasies as an actor, this fall from grace (dare we call it the Black Death?) has been a long time coming.
Mar 6, 2016 · Back in 2014, a team of British researchers made headlines for producing the blackest material known to science. Called Vantablack, the material was so black, it absorbed all but 0.035 percent of visible light, which means to our eyes, it was borderline invisible.
Sep 19, 2019 · MIT researchers have created what’s being called the blackest black ever — a new material that absorbs at least 99.995 percent of light that shines on it.
