Scientifically Inventing A New Color - Blacker Than Black
Blacker Than Black
 Published: Jan 19, 08
Comments: 2 Views: 1,774

Did you know that the color black has an official standard kept by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology? It’s sort of their thing. It seems that researchers at Rice University in Houston have developed a configuration of carbon nanotubes that produce a material 30 times blacker than the current standard. This discovery could help with future infrared detection, astronomical observation, and solar energy conversion.
