The darker material in the world can make a metal to float

You may remember the Vantablack, the material absorbs 99,965% of the visible light. The Vantablack can have multiple applications, mainly in astronomical cameras, telescopes, and infrared scanning systems, Since it has "almost undetectable particles leak levels" that can contaminate sensitive imaging systems.

Recently discovered and a new capacity, When scientists upholstered with this aluminum disc. The layer of vantablack acquires hydrophobic properties and repels the water with such force, that makes the metal disc to float.

    It is known that every metal can floats, even in water, as long as you have the appropriate shape, as is the case with metal ships. The concrete floats similarly due to the shape of. So when she was sunk by one hand, went to the bottom !!!

    • Simos Beikos says:

      The ship floats because the overall density is less than water, even if it is made of metal. Here we don't have the same phenomenon. This material is extremely hydrophobic and there behind the navigation of. If remarks more carefully, has "sunk", is below the water surface, but repels water.
