“Researchers in New York
reported this month that they have created a paper-thin material that
absorbs 99.955 percent of the light that hits it, making it by far the
darkest substance ever made — about 30 times as dark as the
government’s current standard for blackest black.” Introducing the new black. Yes, black is back, but this time . . . it’s superblack.
