Scientists have created a new super-black wood material that absorbs 99.3% of light
The discovery happened by accident: Canadian researchers noticed that the ends of the wood turned black after being treated with plasma gas. This led to the creation of Nxylon, a lightweight and durable material with a velvety surface that absorbs light and reduces reflection.
Ultra-black materials are especially valuable for applications in astronomy, solar energy and optics, helping devices operate more accurately.
