Vanta Black

Very interesting interview with Anish Kapoor this morning on Radio4 talking about his work with Vanta Black. Apparently it is the world's blackest material, absorbing all but 0.034% of light falling onto it. Vanta Black is made by a small UK company in Surrey and was only announced in July this year.


Just imagine some of the potential device and artistic applications. Coating the inside of cameras to reduce bouncing light or even possibly displays made from the material allowing increased HDR display.
