"Black Technology"

It is a role of Japanese light novels Full Metal Panic! .

黑科技(Black Technology)——是指倾听者所拥有,但是非人类自力研发;凌驾于人类现有的科技之上的知识。

Black Technology is obtained from the Whispered who is another role of Full Metal Panic! . It is so knowledgeable that it overtops the existing technology of human being.

Nowadays, "黑科技" is often used to describe the companies which have unbelievable technology, such as Sony.

"黑科技" comes from a comics. It means magical and amazing technical products that violated the nature of the world nor could be explained by the human knowledge. Inconceivable technology would be a good translation

黑科技 is quite a parody way to describe technology that is beyond explanation so I think "dark side of the force" will be the appropriate way to describe it.

I like 'black technology', but 'shadow technology' is also a possible useful alternative.
