Coincidentally, since I wrote the last comics about the Vantablack Market, researchers at MIT have announced news of a new coating even blacker than Vantablack.
The material works on roughly the same principles, with aligned carbon nanotubes capturing incident light. However, whereas Vantablack absorbs 99.96% of incoming light, this new material absorbs about 99.995%, meaning it reflects only about a tenth as much light as Vantablack. That's a significant leap in blackness! Although I expect in practice that a human eye wouldn't be able to tell much difference.
