"Scientists have developed a material so dark that you can't see it."

"A British company has produced a 'strange, alien' material so black that it absorbs all but 0.035 per cent of visual light, setting a new world record. To stare at the "super black" coating made of carbon nanotubes – each 10,000 times thinner than a human hair – is an odd experience. It is so dark that the human eye cannot understand what it is seeing. Shapes and contours are lost, leaving nothing but an apparent abyss."

You can see it, but you can't make out shapes in it. Look at the picture in OP's post. Unlike traditional black garments where you can make out the shape and how the garment falls over whoever is wearing it, this material simply looks like staring into a black hole - you have no depth perception because such a small percentage of visible light is reflected.

Carbon nanotubes are like asbestos in that the particles will enter your lungs and give you cancer or other illness.

The particles are so small the hairs that are supposed to filter crap out of the air for you can't handle them.
