It seems like every time there is a discussion here on DCT about installing a dash mat to reduce windshield reflections in vehicles someone thinks it is a clever idea to recommend Vantablack, the world's blackest, most light absorbing substance.

Wouldn't that be cool? Unfortunately, Vantablack isn't too practical or affordable for applying to a dashboard but it sure is a pretty amazing material.

Here is an interesting video about the stuff that explains how Vantablack is made, how it works and shows it in action.

You've Heard of Vantablack. Scientists Just Created 'Super White', And It's Very Cool

Scientists have created a super white paint that is the yin to Vantablack's yang. While ultra black materials can today absorb more than 99.96 percent of sunlight, this new super white coat can reflect 95.5 percent of all the photons that hit it.

Instead of warming up under direct light, objects painted with this new acrylic material can remain cooler than their surrounding temperature even under the Sun, which could allow for a new energy-efficient way to control temperature.........”
