Carbon nanotube structure now the blackest material ever created

Thanks to Mayher for finding this one:
Using carbon nanotubes, MIT researchers have created a material that absorbs 99.995% of the light emitted into it, making it the "blackest black" material ever made. One interesting possible application is to use this material to help block out light to help astronomers search for and detect exoplanets. Cool!
