Since it was first developed three years ago and marketed, artists and manufacturers have shown interest in using the coating to create unique-looking products—a watch from Contemporaine du Temps, for example, designed by British artist, Anish Kapoor, features Vantablack on its dial and minute hand—it adds a degree of depth to the watch that other watches do not have.

Wonder if it can be used as camo.

Call me when it’s blacker than Hillary’s heart. They wouldn't be able to film it because it would steal your soul.

This is useful for when you really, really need to redact something.

That is likely impossible as Hillary’s heart and soul are the blackest black.

Anyone remember Donald Duck’s crazy inventor uncle, Gyro P. Gearloose?
One of his inventions was the “gloom light”. It made light places dark. This coating could do the same thing, using no electricity.

The Hubble telescope has a coating like this on the inside , reducing light scattering inside the telescope.
A good use for these would be solar thermal products, since it absorbs infra-red.

That’s cultural appropriation. I demand reparations!
