MSNBC is reporting on the researchers at Rice university that set a world’s record with developing a material that absorbs more than 99.9% of light, is 30 times blacker than the material used by the National Institute of Standards for their official reference of ‘black’.

How long until Target is marketing it for their new line of slim wear?
