Vantablack, which is made from carbon nanotubes, was created two years ago by UK company Surrey NanoSystems and traps 99.965 percent of incoming light – making three dimensional objects appear two dimensional.

The spray on version captures 99.8 percent of ultraviolet, visible and infrared light and is 17 times less reflective than the super-black paint used in the Hubble telescope, according to Surrey Nanosystems……More Here
