Ultra-dark automotive coating blends carbon black and nanotubes to trap 99.9% of light

Researchers have developed a new ultrablack coating for cars by combining carbon black pigment with carbon nanotubes in a structure that traps light, achieving absorption of more than 99.9% of visible light while meeting humidity, water-resistance, and adhesion tests and compatible with standard spray-coating processes. This approach aims to overcome manufacturability and durability limits of nanotube-only coatings like Vantablack, potentially enabling luxury, deeply black finishes in automotive and other applications.

Scientists Solve Rubber's Century‑Old Toughness Mystery

USF engineers simulated reinforced rubber—rubber with carbon black—and published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, showing that carbon black creates a Poisson’s ratio mismatch that prevents thinning and boosts volume, stiffness, and strength; by combining particle networks, sticky interactions, and space-filling effects, they offer a unified explanation that could reduce design trial-and-error and improve safety for critical infrastructure.

Microsoft Responds to Feedback with 1TB Xbox Series S and Black SSD Pre-Orders Available
