Whats interesting here is that this material is not new... this research group make a mat of needles that adsorb a shed load of light; so much so that one could avoid detection. However, they make those needles slightly longer than had been previously achieved, and show that it not only absorbs visible light, but also infrared.
This has an obvious 'cool' factor, and the applications of such a material is quickly seen by those striking images in the article.
How innovative is this material? Somewhat. Has it changed the arena of science? Probably not. Are its potential applications interesting? Hell yeh! And thats good enough for me.
