The BLACKEST watch in the world---- very cool
http://www.gq.com/story/mct-vantablack-watch
Hope its ok to post this link. Very cool video on the watch, and when you click on the piece of tinfoil, its amazing, looks like a black hole. Maybe rolex will make a watch with this material. watch will set you back 95,000. |

"The tint, which isn't really a paint or a pigment, is made up of a complex of carbon nanotubes that, when assembled together, absorb over 99.965 percent of light."That's very interesting. Although this isn't a perfect example, I was just reading about black bodies last night. "A black body is an idealized physical body that absorbs all incident electromagnetic radiation, regardless of frequency or angle of incidence."
