The result was an extremely tiny nanoparticle rod resting on an equally tiny nanoparticle sphere (30 nm diameter) which was able to absorb approximately 98 to 99 percent of the light in the spectrum between 400 and 1, 400nm, which meant it was able to absorb approximately 26 percent more light than any other known material — and it does so from all angles and polarizations.
