A ball and a surface covered with Vantablack

A sphere coated with the material Vantablack, adapts to end a metal rod and becomes invisible when it passes over a surface with the same hardware.

The Vantablack, is a material manufactured by the British company Surrey NanoSystems and sets a world record, absorbing 99,965% of the visible light. It is made of carbon nanofibres which is 1.000 times thinner than a human hair. Tiny tubes are small enough to prevent light from entering and are so close to each other so the light bounces within them to be absorbed.
