Super Black

A company called Surrey NanoSystems has recently developed  a new nanocoating that has taken the lead as the blackest, or least reflective, material made my man. Their technology only reflects about 0.15% of the light that hits it. They have designed a well defined and repeatable process, and they plan to use the super black for imaging in space, allowing telescopes to have higher sensitivity to light, without any interference.
