Description
Vantablack was developed in 2014 by a British company called Surrey NanoSystems. It is made of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), which are microscopic tubes of carbon arranged in a way that traps light inside.
To understand how it works, imagine a dense forest with tall trees. When light enters, instead of bouncing back, it gets trapped between the trees. The same principle applies to Vantablack—light enters the nanotube structure and gets absorbed, making the surface appear completely black.
It absorbs 99.965% of visible light, making objects appear two-dimensional, as if all depth is removed. It has been used in space telescopes, military applications, and even art installations. However, applying Vantablack requires special vacuum conditions, making it difficult to use on a large scale.
