I did some research on that blacker black than black material. In my searching I came across lots of mascara, a bunch of pictures of Samuel L Jackson, and finally, a whole wealth of information about this cool new "carbon nano tube " stuff. From what I gathered, these materials are made up of about a million trillion gagillion little carbon "hairs" that are able to trap about 99.5 percent of light that hits them. This means that they are .5 percent away from making something completely invisible. Now, I'd mainly want this so I could make a suit out of it and creep around town at night. But according to NASA, this stuff actually has some pretty heavy scientific value to it. I'm not exactly sure what. They used some really big words when describing it, but from what I can tell it's pretty friggin' nifty.
