DETROIT – Solar panels could soon be obsolete since researchers at the University of Basque County have mentioned a new material that absorbs 99.5% of light at 700°C. This unbelievable revelation focuses on ultrablack copper cobaltate nanoneedles, which go beyond the performance of conventional carbon nanotubes.

A wonderful aspect of these copper cobaltate nanoneedles is that they can handle extreme temperatures and, in the process, touch on the concept of concentrated solar power (CSP) technology, which will soon steal the limelight from traditional solar panels.

The Thermophysical Properties of Materials Group at the university was led by a few scientists: Gabriel A. López, Iñigo González de Arrieta, and Telmo Echániz. The
