Loss of my beloved pet

17, almost 18 years ago I picked up a beautiful little black kitten from a friend whose cat had a litter. I named her Kurobara Kodachi (yes I know) and she went by Kodachi, or Koda for short all these years. 

This Tuesday as I was flying back from Florida, she passed away right when I was getting on the plane. I was notified of her passing and had to take the 2 hour trek back in pain. You see, she was a wonderful, beautiful elegant cat that just loved people. She spent every moment with me except her last, and it kills me that I couldn't be there for her in the end. I missed her passing by no more than 3 hours. 

This week it has been very hard for me to handle that. I keep thinking, it is just a cat, but that isn't true. She really was family for me. I cannot believe how hard this has been. She was old and passed from just old age in her sleep. She wasn’t in pain or anything, just without me there. I don’t really know how to handle this grief well, but it will get easier. Couple that with Pi day also being a day of significance for me and it makes it harder. 

Anyway, just wanted to let this out there in the hopes it will help me at some point. I probably will be adding stories at some point or maybe deleting this. I don’t really know. Not sure what to do yet. Just loving that poor cat and hoping to see her again in the afterlife.

New Super Black Material Absorbs 99.965% Of Light

Goths of the world, rejoice. Scientists have produced Vantablack, a product so dark it becomes impossible to make out shapes formed from it.

Surrey Nanosystems, a British nanoelectronics company have used carbon nanotubes 10,000 times thinner than a human hair to absorb 99.965% of visible light, a world record. The tubes are so small photons cannot get inside, but can fit into the small spaces between the tubes, where they are captured.

For comparison, fresh asphalt reflects 4% of the light that falls on it, and after a while this rises to 12%, while coal seldom gets below 0.5%.

"You expect to see the hills and all you can see … it’s like black, like a hole, like there’s nothing there. It just looks so strange," Surrey Nanosystems’ technical director Ben Jensen told The Independent.

The manufacturers grow Vantablack (Vertically Aligned carbon NanoTube Array) on aluminum foil, making it easy to create complex topography that is entirely invisible to the eye. They point out their low-temperature nanotube growth processes give it a significant advantage past super-black materials that require high temperatures to produce, and are therefore incompatible with sensitive electronics.

While there is probably a market for practical jokes, Surrey Nanosystems are talking up the capacity of Vantablack to calibrate astronomical cameras and infrared scanners, which need to be shown the darkest object possible for comparison with tiny points of light. They also hint darkly at military uses, which may benefit from the enormous tensile strength and heat conductivity.

“We are now scaling up production to meet the requirements of our first customers in the defense and space sectors, and have already delivered our first orders,” said Jensen. So far at least Vantablack is far too expensive to be used for clothes or toys but Jensen said, “You would lose all features of a dress. It would just be something black passing through.”

The properties of Vantablack have been described in Optics Express.
