The darkest material in history absorbs almost all light
According to 'Russia today' (RT) reported on the 14th, scientists recently accidentally found the blackest material in history, which can absorb 99.995% of incident light.
Rt said the ultra black material is made of carbon nanotubes (CNTs). According to RT, before that, the blackest material known was vantablack, which can absorb 99.96% of light. The Massachusetts Institute of technology explained that this new, unnamed material 'reflects 10 times less light than all other ultra black materials, including Fanta Black'.
Rt said that researchers do not know why this new material is so black, but they are full of expectations for its potential. The substance can be used in telescopes and cameras to eliminate glare, Nobel laureate astrophysicist John? John mather is considering using it to protect space telescopes.
It is reported that the substance is currently on display at an art exhibition in New York, USA. In cooperation with researchers, MIT artist strebe covered a 1678 carat natural yellow diamond worth $2 million with the black material, and the shining diamond turned completely black. "Due to the extremely high light absorption of carbon nanotubes, any object, that is, the big diamond covered with carbon nanotubes, will become a black hole without shadow," strebe said
