9 Most Exotic Materials in the World

People are always trying to find new materials with more preeminent features. And among them are materials that seem to only come out of science fiction movies …

Here are nine of the most bizarre materials on the planet:

9. Vantablack — The world’s blackest material

Vantablack is one of the darkest man-made matter created in 2014 by engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the US.

Vantablack: This material can absorb 99.96% of light.

Vantablack is made of a vertically linked carbon nanotube array, this material can absorb 99.96% light. It is capable of covering a natural yellow diamond weighing 16.78 carats, turning the sparkling stone into a dark black. In terms of applicability, Vantablack is used in telescopes and cameras to prevent flare.

8. Wurtzite boron nitride (w-BN) and Lonsdaleite — The material is harder than diamond

Wurtzite boron nitride (w-BN) and Lonsdaleite have a greater hardness than diamond.

If asked which is the hardest material in the world, many people will answer diamond. However, thanks…
