"Enhancing Telescope Performance with Revolutionary Ultrablack Coating"

TL;DR Summary
A team of scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed an ultra-black coating that can absorb 99.3% of light across a wide range of wavelengths, potentially improving image quality for cameras and space telescopes. The thin film, made of titanium-aluminium-carbon composite and silicon dioxide, can prevent unwanted scattered light from entering camera lenses and creating glare or bright spots in photos. The material is highly durable and can withstand extreme temperature changes and friction, making it suitable for various applications in precision optics.
