Sinossi

Darkest Colors explores the fascinating science behind ultra-black materials, substances capable of absorbing nearly all light. Delving into the physics of light absorption, the book uncovers how materials like Vantablack and Singularity Black are created using nanotechnology and how they manipulate electromagnetic radiation at a quantum level.

 
One intriguing fact is that these materials can render three-dimensional objects as mere silhouettes, highlighting their unique light-trapping abilities. Another insight reveals their use in minimizing stray light in telescopes, enhancing the detection of faint celestial objects.

 
The book progresses logically, first laying the theoretical groundwork in optics and materials science before examining specific examples of ultra-black materials. It details the composition, fabrication methods, and performance of these materials, showcasing their potential in aerospace applications, imaging technologies, and even artistic endeavors. This makes the book valuable for anyone interested in the cutting edge of light manipulation and materials science, from students to researchers.

 
The approach emphasizes verifiable data and established scientific principles, avoiding hyperbole while presenting information in a clear and concise manner. By focusing on the material science and physics, Darkest Colors provides a comprehensive understanding of these innovative materials and their transformative potential across various fields.

Health Communism - A Surplus...

Beatrice Adler-Bolton, Artie...

A searing analysis of health and illness under capitalism from hosts of the hit podcast Death Panel 
 
 
 
Written by cohosts of the hit Death Panel podcast and longtime disability justice and healthcare activists Beatrice Adler-Bolton and Artie, Health Communism first examines how capital has instrumentalized health, disability, madness, and illness to create a class seen as "surplus," regarded as a fiscal and social burden. Demarcating the healthy from the surplus, the worker from the "unfit" to work, the authors argue, serves not only to undermine solidarity but to mark whole populations for extraction by the industries that have emerged to manage and contain this "surplus" population. Health Communism then looks to the grave threat capital poses to global public health, and at the rare movements around the world that have successfully challenged the extractive economy of health. 
 
 
 
Ultimately, Adler-Bolton and Vierkant argue, we will not succeed in defeating capitalism until we sever health from capital. To do this will require a radical new politics of solidarity that centers the surplus, built on an understanding that we must not base the value of human life on one's willingness or ability to be productive within the current political economy. Capital, it turns out, only fears health.
