As if on cue....

 

[dsrtsage]

They are hoping to use them to steal other materials

I just knew I’d see this little fool again.

firing a laser at it

Hey guys, what if we fire a laser at it?

Yeah! Joe, get the laser.

[Idaho_Cowboy]

And will it be called the Bat-molecule.

Does this mean that flat black spray paint is no longer authentically black?

[Uversabound]

I was not going there...../s

[rollo tomasi]

I thought Spinal Tap had the black-ish pegged.

But is it as black as a woodchuck’s butt=hole?

Obviously they have never looked at Ceilcote 505 product in custom tint "CNB-DCS".

There is no scientific experiment which cannot be made better by the addition of lasers.

Where is that meme from originally anyhow?

[UCANSEE2]

"They took that idea and turned it on its head by inverting the structure and used the idea of chaotic energy harvesting to create the extremely black material—the surface of the structure is disordered, which creates a pattern of random pits, each consisting of infinitely long metallic waveguides. "

Oddly similar information related to this...

Infinitely fast light with new zero-index material

"In a zero-index material, there is no phase advance, meaning light no longer behaves as a moving wave, traveling through space in a series of crests and troughs. Instead, the zero-index material creates a constant phase — all crests or all troughs — stretching out in infinitely long wavelengths."

They sure do! Especially when you are calibrating infrared detectors!.................

Not sure how you'd check that, but it sounds like a good way to lose a couple of fingers.

Hold muh beaker and watch this!......................

I have no idea. Has probably been around since Al Gore invented the internet.
