Bird-of-paradise inspires darkest fabric ever made

The color "ultrablack"—defined as reflecting less than 0.5% of the light that hits it—has a variety of uses, including in cameras, solar panels and telescopes, but it's difficult to produce and can appear less black when viewed at an angle. Now, a Cornell lab has devised a simple method for making the elusive color. Taking cues from nature—in particular the striking black of the magnificent riflebird—researchers in the Responsive Apparel Design (RAD) Lab, in the College of Human Ecology (CHE), dyed a white merino wool knit fabric with polydopamine, followed by etching of the material in a plasma chamber to create nanofibrils—spiky nanoscale growths. These features were made to mimic the light-trapping capabilities found on the riflebird's ultrablack feathers, which absorb most of the light that hits them.
