Vantablack

Vantablack is a material composed of extremely tiny carbon nanotubes that absorb nearly all visible light that hits it, reflecting less than 0.035%. This results in an appearance that makes objects coated with it look like they lose depth and shape, creating a surreal, almost two-dimensional effect. Its extraordinary light-absorbing properties are used in scientific applications like telescopes and sensors to reduce glare and noise. Due to its unique qualities, Vantablack is considered one of the blackest substances known, making it valuable for both technical uses and artistic exploration of light and perception.
