With more information, more pictures, and less confusion about "absorbing light leading to lower temperatures."
- andrewflnr 15y agoThanks. On my iPad, the original link seems to go into an infinite redirect loop. I doubt I missed much.
- S_A_P 15y agoSame here on iPhone. This drives me nuts when mobile sites "break" the web. I would rather double tap and scroll than put up with a subpar mobile experience. Now with the iOS 5 reader, I think that mobile sites are mostly irrelevant.
- abecedarius 15y agoYeah, that wasn't even the only confusion they added. Thanks.
- lutorm 15y agoMore confusion though: The advantage over other materials is that our material is from 10 to 100 times more absorbent There's some snake oil there. If their material absorbs 99%, that would mean that other materials would only absorb 1-10%, which is not true. They even say in the article that black paint absorbs 90%. What they probably mean is that their material reflects 10-100 times less light. Ie, something 90% absorbent is 10% reflective, and their material is 0.1-1% reflective....
