Let me start by getting the "none more black" joke out of the way.
Anyway, this is kinda neat (though I'm skeptical that it's really 100% absorption) but not really all that useful for anything, as far as I can tell. There aren't many applications where the difference between absorbing 99.9% of the light and 99.99999999999999999% of the light is a particularly big deal, as far as I know.

- hugh 18y agoOh, I had assumed that was an electron micrograph. But you're right, now I come to read the article again it only works over a narrow frequency range.
