Carbon fibre has an excellent strength to weight ratio, is stiff, and gives excellent kinetic energy transfer.

Carbon ( from " coal ") is the chemical element with symbol C and atomic number 6.

Carbon is one of the few elements known since antiquity.

Carbon is essential to all known living systems, and without it life as we know it could not exist ( see alternative biochemistry ).

Carbon fiber is made by pyrolysis of extruded and stretched filaments of polyacrylonitrile ( PAN ) and other organic substances.

Carbon black is used as the black pigment in printing ink, artist's oil paint and water colours, carbon paper, automotive finishes, India ink and laser printer toner.

Carbon black is also used as a filler in rubber products such as tyres and in plastic compounds.

Carbon is used in chemical reduction at high temperatures.

Carbon in everyday life and in chemistry is a mixture of < sup > 12 </ sup > C, < sup > 13 </ sup > C, and ( a very small fraction of ) < sup > 14 </ sup > C atoms.

The Calcium carbonate, from which coral skeletons are made is just over 60 % Carbon dioxide.

The project is a research program of the Southeast Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership ( SECARB ), funded by the National Energy Technology Laboratory of the U. S. Department of Energy ( DOE ).

Carbon monoxide is highly toxic, and can cause carbon monoxide poisoning, so it is important to avoid any build-up of the gas in a confined space.

Carbon dioxide has a GWP of exactly 1 ( since it is the baseline unit to which all other greenhouse gases are compared ).

Carbon dioxide is more readily dissolved in deoxygenated blood, facilitating its removal from the body after the oxygen has been released to tissues undergoing metabolism.

Carbon is tetravalent but carbon free radicals and carbenes occur as short-lived intermediates.

Carbon monosulfide ( CS ) unlike carbon monoxide is very unstable.

Carbon steel, an alloy of iron and carbon, can be very sharp, hold its edge well, and remain easy to sharpen, but is vulnerable to rust and stains.

Carbon dating of textiles found with the remains in the cave indicate they are contemporaneous with the period of the Revolt and it is believed that as they were buried with pig bones ( a Roman practice ); this indicates that the remains may belong to Romans who garrisoned Masada after its recapture.

There is much sophisticated engineering and chemistry involved here, with iTi, Pixdro, Asahi Kasei, Merck, BASF, HC Starck, Hitachi Chemical and Frontier Carbon Corporation among the leaders.

Better integration with Mac OS X's application frameworks is provided by APIs layered on top of CGL: AGL for Carbon and NSOpenGL for Cocoa.

Carbon neutral fuel is synthetic fuel — such as methane, gasoline, diesel fuel or jet fuel — produced from renewable or nuclear energy used to hydrogenate waste carbon dioxide recycled from power plant flue exhaust gas or derived from carbonic acid in seawater .< ref name = MacDowell2010 > ( Review.

Carbon capture from ambient air is more costly, at between $ 600 and $ 1000 per ton and is considered impractical for fuel synthesis or carbon sequestration.

Carbon dioxide is converted into sugars in a process called carbon fixation.

Carbon dioxide formation can also lead to headaches and decreased muscle flexibility.

Carbon may also burn vigorously and brightly in the presence of air at high temperatures, as in the Windscale fire, which was caused by sudden release of stored Wigner energy in the graphite core.

Carbon steels are also used, but these require additional heat treatment to reach the desired properties.

Carbon dioxide may also be a by-product depending on the fuel, but the carbon emissions from an SOFC system are less than those from a fossil fuel combustion plant.

Carbon dioxide diffuses into the surrounding water due to its high solubility, while oxygen diffuses into bubbles as the concentration within the bubble has been reduced by respiration, and nitrogen also diffuses out as its tension has been increased.

Carbon is also a major component of many minerals.

Carbon also exists in various forms in the atmosphere.

Carbon is also the main element causing the release of free neutrons within the stars, giving rise to the s process, in which the slow absorption of neutrons converts iron into elements heavier than iron and nickel.

Carbon monoxide can cause atherosclerosis ; the hardening of arteries, and can also trigger heart attacks.

Sweetwater County also lost territory when Carbon County was formed in 1886.

In 1868, Laramie County also lost territory when Albany County and Carbon County were created.

) The other three statewide winners ( Rob McCord for Treasurer, Jack Wagner for Auditor General, and Tom Corbett for Attorney General ) also carried Carbon.

Trowbridge's father, Elton Trowbridge, also a Democrat, held the state House seat from Carbon County from 1961 until his death in office in 1974.

The movie Carbon Copy (' 1981 movie featuring Denzel Washington and George Segal ) was also based in San Marino.

Walnut Hill was also on the Goshen Road, an early road across Illinois, from Shawneetown to the Goshen Settlement near Glen Carbon.

Carbon is also known for its coal mines.

It is also home to Lehigh Carbon Community College in Schnecksville.

Schnecksville is also home to one of three campuses for Lehigh Carbon Community College ( also known LCCC, or " L-tri-C "), a public community college with 2, 145 full-time students.

The newspaper also covers parts of Pike, Lackawanna, Wayne and Carbon counties as well as areas of western New Jersey.

Mount Carbon has also had one of the youngest mayors in history, Mayor Jeffrey Dunkel was sworn in as mayor when he was only 18 years old.

Tamaqua also houses the Morgan Center branch of the Lehigh Carbon Community College ( LCCC ), a community college based in Schnecksville, Pennsylvania.

Its villages include Andreas ( pronounced ANN-dreez and also in Carbon County ), Clamtown, Dorset, Kepner, Leibeyville, Longacre, Mantzville ( pronounced MAHNTS-ville ), Millers, Snyders, and South Tamaqua.

Borger also has Sid Richardson Carbon Company, which produces rubber grade carbon black and is used to strengthen rubber tires, and Degussa Engineered Carbons, Inc., which produces a variety of carbon blacks at its Borger facility.
