Title
This video explains what a carbon nanotube is and how nanotechnology will be used on spacecraft instruments to reduce light reflectance. NASA GSFC scientists are able to grow nanotubes that are blacker than the currently used NASA Z306 paint and they are very robust, which allows them to endure launch and the harsh space environment.
