Gizmodo reporter Victoria Song writes that MIT researchers have created a material that is 10 times blacker than any to date. The material is being made from “vertically aligned carbon nanotubes, which are microscopic carbon filaments. The engineers grew the carbon nanotubes on chlorine-etched aluminum foil, which then captured more than 99.995 percent of incoming light in lab testing.”
