I find it funny how no one in this tread has mentioned the obvious use of this as a solar panel material or at the very least a solar tower material
[QUOTE=yodaman888;45393087]I find it funny how no one in this tread has mentioned the obvious use of this as a solar panel material or at the very least a solar tower material[/QUOTE] That actually makes me wonder, since it absorbs so much light, would that also mean it absorbs much more heat from things like sunlight? Because if so this guy might have a really good point. Stuff looks awesome though, I want some. Must be prohibitively expensive right now, I'd assume.

[QUOTE=Tasm;45393558]Night.[/QUOTE] common misconception but unless you're in the country and the moon isn't out, nighttime visibility is actually pretty high and black tends to stick out more than grey.

Doesn't it loose it's effect when you look at a picture of it through a monitor though? It being the darkest object ever doesn't mean your Monitors pixels just got darker all of a sudden :v:
