What reading level is Stripping Down Science book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But not anymore it seems, because scientists have recently shattered the myth that black is black by producing a substance 30 times darker. This new coating, which is the brainchild of Rensselaer Polytechnic researcher Pulickel Ajayan and his team,36 consists of a sheet of nanotubes. These are very tiny but extraordinarily long molecular straws of carbon atoms, each about 5000 times thinner in diameter than a human hair.Theyâre grown as a film using a process called vapour deposition and the r...esult resembles the nanoscale equivalent of a bamboo forest with the carbon tubes standing vertically, side by side, their tops entangled to make the surface appear irregularly corrugated. The individual nanotube bamboos also vary in height and can be up to one millimetre tall. Prepared in this way, the result, says Ajayan, is a material thatâs very good at absorbing light but also very bad at reflecting it again, which is why it looks so dark. âAn ideal black material absorbs light at all wavelengths and all angles, basically.â The new material achieves this by allowing light to penetrate into the spaces between the nanotubes before being absorbed by the carbon in their walls.
