Using scanning electron microscopy and computer simulations to examine the microscopic structures on the wings of 10 species of ultra-black butterflies and four regular black or dark brown butterflies from Central and South America and Asia, researchers have figured out how they make ultra-thin substances that soak up all the light.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedaily.com\/releases\/2020\/03\/200310124715.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">To make ultra-black materials that won&#8217;t weigh things down, consider the butterfly<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ScienceDaily&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some butterflies have ultra-black wings that rival the blackest materials made by humans, using wing scales that are only a fraction as thick.
