Scientists have created the "darkest ever" substance, utilizing one molecule thick sheets of carbon to create nanotubes, that when bunched create a fuzzy surface that reflects almost no light. In theory, it should now be possible to create the "perfect absorber".

Said Professor N. Tufnel:

It's like, how much more black could this be? and the answer is none. None more black.
The team hope to use the new material to create superblack objects such as solar cells, light harvesters and album covers.

See now, Jeff, you get an extra ten points for recognizing the Tap quote, but a minus 20 for neglecting the fact that the Professor's name was "N. Tufnel"
