Engineers Create the Blackest Material Yet (phys.org)

schwit1 writes: Researchers have created the least reflective material ever made, using as inspiration the scales on the all-white cyphochilus beetle. The result was an extremely tiny nanoparticle rod resting on an equally tiny nanoparticle sphere (30 nm diameter) which was able to absorb approximately 98 to 99 percent of the light in the spectrum between 400 and 1,400nm, which meant it was able to absorb approximately 26 percent more light than any other known material — and it does so from all angles and polarizations.

Solar Thermal Applications?

[Anonymous Coward]

I'm wondering if this could be used to improve the efficency of solar thermal generators.

Re: Solar Thermal Applications?

[Anonymous Coward]

No, at least not for home water or space heating. There the efficiency is energy gained from the Sun less energy lost to reradiation. The best materials for that job are 'selective', meaning that they are very black in the frequencies the Sun radiates the most and very shiny (low emissivity) in the infrared frequencies that a solar panel would reradiate the most.

I'm wondering if you RTFA. Nah, you obviously didn't.

Devices using such an application might be used for desalination projects, the team notes, and of course in solar energy collecting systems, and perhaps in optical interconnects. They also suggest the material might even lead to using a wholly new approach in the design of such devices.

Black is an interesting color.

Black paint absorbs 90-95% of light, the military has Z306 that absorbs 96% of light (and is used for paint as well as coatings for telescopes). NASA has developed materials that absorb 99.95% of light, and Vantablack is 99.965%. The ultimate black is of course, a black hole which absorbs all light (barring quantum phenomena that results in hawking radiation).

The human eye cannot comprehend sucn black - since our black objects all reflect significant amounts of light back. Looking at Vantablack or this, your mind actually sees a hole and doesn't register that there's something there.

Re:Vantablack anyone?

[del_diablo]

Here is the simplest explanation: Once a object no longer reflects light properly, you can no longer tell what shape it has. You can only see its outline.
If you rotate it, you have trouble seeing if it was rotated if the shape is uniform(i.e sphere)
Muh comprehension is a shitty reason to use, because we need to see reflected light to see what shape a object has, and from there we can deduct whatever.

Re:Practical applications

[Anonymous Coward]

Not just telescopes, but just about any precision optical instrument that has to deal with low light signals and stray light issues.

For one example, there are spectrometers that look at scattered from a laser beam, and filter out the wavelength of light associated with the laser itself. For high precision work, filters can't filter out a narrow enough part of the spectrum, so some will break the light up with a diffraction grating and use a physical object to block the part of the spectrum associated with the laser line. But usually there is too much reflected light from this bouncing around, so the result is much more complicated schemes using multiple diffraction gratings to split up the light and recombine it so it can be spatially filtered to remove stray light and then spread out again for measurement. With a dark enough coating on the object blocking part of the spectra and insides of the spectrometer, a simple, common single grating spectrometer could be used.

Re:It's not the blackest man-made "material" yet

[Anonymous Coward]

I've seen references as far back as the 60s to light dumps that were made as improvements on the "well known" razor blade dump. Maybe it has to do with that patent being specific to a particular use, i.e. as a IR source. And usually the great thing about a razor beam dump is not that it reflects light away from you, but that it reflects off the metal so many times internally it gets absorbed (steel and iron only tend to be about 60-80% reflective), which is great for applications where you don't want that light going elsewhere in your setup either.

What is the spin angle of an absorbed photon?

[Anonymous Coward]

Well there's a mental proof of the bogus nature of Quantum Entanglement,

"Entangle" two photons, send one to be absorbed into this black material. Measure the others spin angle.... ooo look it still has a spin angle, yet the "entangled" photon no longer exists!

So much for entanglement.

And before anyone points to Kavli Institute of Nanoscience's "PROOF" of entanglement, you should read their paper first:
http://science.slashdot.org/story/15/10/21/197224/quantum-theory-experiment-said-to-prove-spooky-interactions

This was the Photon from Electron X, Photon from Electron Y, "Entangle" the two photons (really filter out any photons whose spin is different), then measure the spin of Electron X which "sets by spooky distance effect" the spin of Electron Y via the "entangled photons".

I have two pots of paint, they are red or blue, I don't know which, I claim they are in a flux state flipping between the color till I observe what color they are. I fire ping pong balls through them, one ball each to a distant "entanglement" device. At the entanglement device I discard any ping pong balls that don't match in color. I then measure one of the paint pots to discover it is red, so by "spooky paint transfer effect" the other is also red.

Ergo I've proved Einstein wrong, with my "spooky paint color transfer effect"....

On the other hand, if the paint was different colors, one ball would pick up red paint, and one ball blue paint, and that result would be discarded by my filtering as a "failed entanglement".

And yes that is exactly what they did, read bottom of column 1, page 2 of the experiment paper: "By conditioning the validity of the Bells test trial, on this event ready signal, failed entanglement distribution events are excluded up front from being used in the Bells Test". (The event ready test is a test that the photons are entangled, i.e. have the same spin).

What do you mean, "so much for entanglement?" Your thought experiment says nothing about it. Why would absorbing one entangled photon stop the other from having a spin? There's no such thing as a photon without spin.

I can measure the spin of the entangled photon, which must set the spin of the now no-existent photon, which would be impossible because the other photon is no more...

"Have you ever considered the possibility that you're not smart enough to comprehend that there are things you don't comprehend?"
Have you considered that Einstein pulled a simple logic problem out of his ass to show the bogus nature of entanglement?

Really, how can look at Quantum Eraser, and not see that you've taken a signal consisting of {noise}+{rare 45 degree photons passing both polarizers} then filtered for the short time when you know the {rare 45 degree passing both polarizers} is present to eliminate the noise and reveal the signal.

It's trivial to understand, and Einstein pointed out the bogus nature of this thinking.

Re:What is the spin angle of an absorbed photon?

[belthize]

It's a joke but not the funny kind. The OP actually appears to be serious given his response.

Re:What is the spin angle of an absorbed photon?

[Anonymous Coward]

Two photons are entangled, A and B.
B is entangled with a third photon C.
B then hits this black body and is destroyed.
I then measure the spin of A, and by "spooky effect across time and space" the spin of C is set to be the same. Even though B was destroyed by this black body.

THIS IS AN ACTUAL EXPERIMENTAL CLAIM, not a joke, they really claim that.

So if entanglement stretched across 'black body death' I could split a photon into two, detect vertical spin in one photon and filter for the other so that only vertical photons die in this black paint.

I do this to absolutely saturate the paint.

I then heat the black paint to get some photons out. Do I get more vertical spin photons? No?... Of course I don't.

Every photon must have died, been created, split, and have an infinite variety of interactions that cause it to have different spins. Which means it also has conflicting entanglements to other photons which require it to be different spins. Ergo entanglement is impossible.

Your simply filtering out noise from noise+signal. That's all your entanglement filter does. The Emperor is naked and nobody can admit it, because they have degrees in how fine the Emperors clothes are. Get a grip on this nonsense.

Re:What is the spin angle of an absorbed photon?

[Anonymous Coward]

Nope, there is no requirement that it must set the spin of another photon under any conditions. Any operation that forces one of the halves of an entangled pair to a particular state just simply breaks the entanglement, i.e. transitions that the state of the system to one that is not entangled. This would be dead obvious if you actually study quantum mechanics, because it is a simple projection operation, about as easy as the math gets. There are plenty of operations, absorption of a photon being one, that simply just break the entanglement.

Re:What is the spin angle of an absorbed photon?

[Anonymous Coward]

No its not he funny kind. It's the ironic kind.

Just as entanglement is simply filtering noise from signal, so the Physics degree separates the believers from the non-believers. So to be a Physicist you must have passed your QM course and be a believer.

Yet clearly its wrong, so the people who failed the QM course were more likely to be better Physicists!

You understand Bells, yet you apply it to a filtered subset of photons that have the property you want that would prove your theorum! And this fault passes Physics peer review because you've all been taught the same flaw and were filtered for your blind spot to the flaw!

It's almost like you're all entangled!

If I change one you to see the flaw, will you all instantly change by spooky distance effect? Even the dead ones?.... Now *that* would be irony.

Re:What is the spin angle of an absorbed photon?

[Anonymous Coward]

(Using parentheses instead of angled brackets for bra-ket notation, because I am too lazy to html-ize the angle brackets, also ignoring normalization which is easy enough to figure out)

Two photons are entangled, A and B.

Ok, assuming you creating state |L)_A x |L)_B - |R)_A x |R)_B (you're being so vague using words so as to not really specify).

B is entangled with a third photon C.

Again, being quite vague, but assuming you mean you're creating some state where all three are entangled to have the same polarization: |L)_A x |L)_B x |L)_C - |R)_A x |R)_B x |R)_C

B then hits this black body and is destroyed.

Ok, so you're getting rid of photon B in some way such that you don't care about the polarization, you are just projecting with (R|_B+(L|_B)... so you get:
|L)_A x |L)_C - |R)_A x |R)_C

I then measure the spin of A, and by "spooky effect across time and space" the spin of C is set to be the same. Even though B was destroyed by this black body.

Well duh, you've created a system state that is just an entanglement of A and C. There is nothing stopping you from removing a particle from an entangled state. This works even in the much simpler case of just two entangled particles, which was wrong in the original post. If you have two entangled photons and you destroy one or force one into a particular state instead of just measuring it, you destroy the entangled state and the second photon is just left in whatever superposition is left over from projecting the first photon onto a state. |L)_A x |L)_B - |R)_A x |R)_B projected by destroying the photon B just removes it and leaves you with |L)_A-|R)_A, a vanilla non-entangled superposition.

Maybe you should learn the basics of the topics before claiming to understand it well enough to prove it wrong. This is stuff that gets taught to first or second year physics students (or even senior engineering students, who seem to handle bra-ket notation just fine).

Re:What is the spin angle of an absorbed photon?

Just as entanglement is simply filtering noise from signal, so the Physics degree separates the believers from the non-believers. So to be a Physicist you must have passed your QM course and be a believer.

And yet you get it so wrong, you are just fighting a straw man. You can't prove something wrong if you just make up statements that have no relationship to what you are trying to prove wrong, regardless of how right or wrong it is. If you say the Bible is wrong because of how it says blue kangaroos can fly, both people who believe in the Bible and those who don't will see your proof as BS if they have any idea what it actually says.

One doesn't have to pass a QM course to argue against it. But one does have to have at least a clue what QM actually says to say what it says is wrong. If this were so important, then getting the intro QM course material would be by far the easiest path to learning what it says, considering you can get through it with just high level high school math and less than a year's time.

How is the energy it absorbs dissipated?

[RNLockwood]

The particles absorb photons over a wide band, violet through 'thermal'. Presumably the energy is dissipated as though from a black body unless it is removed by conduction. For example when illuminated by visible light they would radiate mostly in the infrared (unless the absorbed energy is removed by conduction) and would be seen to glow in infrared.

If they could be tweaked to absorb better at a wavelength that is best transmitted by human tissue and attached to an antibody that attaches to cancer cells they might be used as antennae to heat and destroy the cells.
