Hipsters! Something Darker Than Black Has Been Invented!

If your wardrobe is monochromatically uniform and you’re just wearing black until something darker comes along, that day has arrived.

A new nanomaterial that absorbs 99% of the light shon upon it (ultraviolet, visible, infrared and far-infrared) has been invented by NASA.  It is blacker than black.  They plan to use it on satellites and space telescopes.

How long before this material makes it into the fashion world?  Work on it, will you Goths?

  • Coincidental that you should post this just before Nigel Tufnel Day, as according to Spinal Tap, there is none more black.
