Blacker than the blackest black. Goths rejoice!

A team of researchers from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute has created the world’s first material that reflects virtually no light. Covering the walls of a room with this new material, and turning on the lights, you'd not be able to see the walls at all - just blackness... deep, dark, impenetrable, Robert-Smith-style blackness.

Goths the world over who have been insulting each other with "your black is SO just charcoal" have suddenly been knocked off their pointy-toed boots. Now, you're only "black enough" if nobody can see you.

The group are working on a similar material that reflects virtually no publicity, after funding from the Britney Spears Foundation.

....about the color black being the new pink

ive always been fond of purple, one of the reasons i realy love this sites layout

That is so funny! Great stuff! I want some pants in this stuff!

I wonder if a black room where you couldn't see the ceiling or walls would be just as disorienting as the white room is...

two questions, how much? and where do I get it?

i want pictures of the stuff.
