Topic Reading-Vol.837 7/27/2014

Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
You can't see it, or figure out its shape: Is this the real new black?
How black your pencil, ballpoint pen or tonner ink? While conventional black, such as black paint or fabric is said to absorb light by between 95% and 98%, this newly created material sucks up 99.96% of all light that hits it. It is so dark that looks like a whole.
Vandablack was the darkest material ever tested in the prominent laboratories in the UK and the US. It is basically made out of carbon nanotubes and is designed to help cameras, telescopes and infrared scanning systems work more accurately by reducing straying light.
Enjoy reading about and seeing the darkest thing that you've ever observed.
