Robust, low-cost superblack material leverages fundamental geometry and engineering methods
College of Engineering
Cave entrances often appear black and forbidding. Light enters, but little escapes, absorbed as it “bounces around” the interior. To trap light in much the same way, engineers at the University of Notre Dame have devised a superblack material from a matrix of microscopic, sheer-walled “caves”—each just 10 microns wide. The result reflects less than […] The post Robust, low-cost superblack material leverages fundamental geometry and engineering methods appeared first on Aerospace and Mechanical
