Ultra-Black: From Vantablack to Biomimicry
Manage episode 522846213 series 3690682
A tour of the darkest materials, from nanotube forests like Vantablack to nanofibril fabrics and melanin-based layers inspired by deep-sea organisms. We explore how nanoscale structures trap nearly all light, why durability and scalability matter, and how nature’s blueprints could power robust ultra-black coatings for science, industry, and everyday use.
