Darkest material on earth looks like photoshop

>Real life black hole
these brainlets will do anything to rake in the clicks, won't they

When do we start painting military craft with something like this?

One real application is costing the inside of VR headsets

A current problem is reflections off of the inside surfaces

Heck, costing an entire movie theater with it would be neat too

I hate how when a bright scene starts you can see all of the other stuff going on in the room

Wouldn't that make finding your seat or leaving difficult if the whole theater was this black? the light would just get absorbed into everything?

BLACKED

this is old news

> duhhh it has uses in uhhhhh enguneering

no shit dumbfuck, what do they use it for?

I mean you wouldn't have to #BLACKED the seats/floor as well. just the walls I suppose

Guy's like the model for Ali G. Fo real.

this is how most dyes work:
>electron absorbs visible light photon and get exited
>different distribution of electrons changes the ideal length and/or angle of some bonds, causing them to wobble and transfer some of their kinetic energy to surrounding molecules (=heat)
>electron has now lost some of the energy it got from the photon
>falls back to ground state emmiting a photon with less energy (=longer wavelength), usually in the infrared spectrum
so it is possible for a dye to absorb visible light but only emit infrared.

Reminds me of the solar/thermal paint used at Gaviotas for passive solar water heaters

But more lab grade
