Malevich would have approved: Vantablack, the Blackest Black as Black as a Black hole

For someone like me who is a bit partial to black, there was good news this week. Some scientists have invented the blackest pigment know to man using carbon nanotubes. It is completely matt and so black, the brain simply can't interpret how black it is. 



Apparently it has a bunch of scientific uses (like calibrating space telescopes etc) but the real question is, when is Michael Harding going to make it into a tube paint and how much?
