We do lab to consumer product testing/introduction with them.

Very interesting, and appears to be very useful.

One more technology that we will all take for granted in a few years.

[Reaganesque]

Nanotech continues to amaze. In a few short years, it will fundamentally change the way we live. No hype.

[Lion Den Dan]

Also useful as camouflage? There is something running around now that renders the camouflaged person/item invisible for all intents and purposes.

Wouldn't increasing reflection increase the brightness of LEDs? What's the article getting at about LEDs in the article?

[Sam Cree]

They don't mention it, but it sounds like this stuff could have some great deer hunting applications. Non reflective camo!

[Boiling point]

So like, I've never seen light reflect off of black velvet either.

I want my car painted in it so that it will absorb all the radar. :)

BTTT for later reread.

A moose in the headlights looks just like this: no reflection, just a big, dark spot. Then comes a thud, with the sound of breaking glass and twisting metal, followed by ambulance sirens. The sirens are a good sign: they indicate that you are still alive.

Cue Coplan's "Fanfare for the Common Man" theme music.

I'm surprised that Geigo hasn't parodied that scene from "2001" with their cavemen complaining about how were they supposed to know that it was a sign of peace. :)

bump for later
