Vantablack Is The New Black

Vantablack is a new material developed by the British company Surrey NanoSystems using carbon nanotubes grown in aluminum foil. Since this material absorbs 99.96 % of visible light, it has applications in calibrating astronomical cameras and telescopes as well as infrared scanning systems to greatly improve readings.

Coandă effect is the tendency of a fluid jet to be attracted to a nearby surface, named after Romanian aerodynamics pioneer Henri Coandă, who was the first person to use this principle in the Coandă-1910 aircraft he designed. Today this principle finds wider application in VTOL UAV type aircrafts.
