Scientists have created the darkest material in the history of mankind


news_13275_1Scientists have a U.S. laboratory claim that they managed to create the darkest material in human history - thick -walled carbon nanotubes in almost one-atom and twisted into a cylinder. If the body is completely black, it means that it absorbs all the colors of the spectrum, does not reflect any of them, and scientists Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York, seems to have approached the creation of such a subject as close as possible. Scientists have combined a number of nanotubes, oriented vertically with low density - rather rough, but, nevertheless, able to minimize the reflectivity.





After all the manipulations were carried out measurements of the optical properties of the body. It was found that the object found an incredible ability to absorb light in the almost complete absence of reflection, the object with absolute certainty can be considered a new standard of ... In practice, carbon nanotubes will help build The Ultra material, so it is best to use when creating, for example, solar panels, or TVs such as Kuro.
