Kulabo abacabanga ukuthi umbala omnyama njengombala omnyama kakhulu owaziwa umuntu, kungenzeka ukuthi abakaze bezwe ngakho i-vantablack. Idalwe endaweni ethile emnyama, engaziwa ngo- Izinhlelo zeSurrey Nanosystems emuva ku-2014, iVantablack ithatha i-99.96% yakho konke ukukhanya kwe-ultraviolet, i-infrared, nokubonakalayo okudlula kuyo.
Dlulela phambili ku-2016 lapho abacwaningi bedala i-'Vantablack S-VIS '- inguqulo enamandla yombala ovimba ukukhanya okungu-99.8% kwelambu lefoni, elibonakalayo kanye ne-ultraviolet. Kumnyama kakhulu kwenza izinto zomhlaba wangempela ze-3D - njengamamaski angezansi - zibukeke njengezicaba ezingenalutho.
Uma kwenzeka uzibuza, impahla yeVantablack S-VIS esetshenziswe ngaphandle kwesifihla sobunxele futhi ngaphakathi kwemaski yesibili akuyona indwangu, upende, noma i-pigment. Empeleni ingubo ekhethekile esetshenziselwa ukususa cishe yonke iminonjana yokuvela ebusweni.
Le nguqulo emnyama yeVantablack ithola leli khono elifana nokungenalutho ngokusebenzisa ama-nanotubes angaphezu kwesigidi ekugqokeni kwawo. Ngokuvumelana ne I-Surrey NanoSystems, i-nanotube ngayinye ingama-microns ayi-14-50 ubude nama-nanometer angama-20 ububanzi, okusho ukuthi indawo encane eyisikwele engu-0.1 cm iqukethe ama-nanotubes angaphezu kwesigidi esisodwa.
Yize iVantablack S-VIS ibone ukusetshenziswa kohambo lwasemkhathini, iSurrey Nanosystems ithi ukusetshenziswa okuningi kwezentengiselwano kwezesayensi nobuciko (okusho ukuthi amaski obhedu) nakho kuyenzeka. Zilungiselele ukugqolozela lesi sikhala njengoba lo “mbala” omusha wenza indlela eya kubantu masinyane.
