Nanotube technology has produced a paint so efficient, it absorbs over 99.9% of visible light. Normal black paint has a reflective index of about 5%-10%, while the previous darkest colour was about 0.45%, made from a nickel phosphorus alloy. This one is thirty times darker still.

This story sounds familiar - maybe I read the one about the paint being developed as part of a nanotechnology story
