Pyrolytic carbon coated black silicon. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2016 AbstractCarbon is the most well-known black material in the history of man. Throughout the centuries, carbon has been used as a black material for paintings, camouflage and optics. Although, the techniques to make other black surfaces have evolved and become more sophisticated with time, carbon still remains one of the best black materials.

Bactericidal activity of black silicon. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2013 Black silicon is a synthetic nanomaterial that contains high aspect ratio nanoprotrusions on its surface, produced through a simple reactive-ion etching technique for use in photovoltaic applications. Surfaces with high aspect-ratio nanofeatures are also common in the natural world, for example, the wings of the dragonfly Diplacodes bipunctata. Here we
