Carbon nanotubes, also called buckytubes, are cylindrical carbon molecules with novel properties that make them potentially useful in a wide variety of applications ( e. g., nano-electronics, optics, materials applications, etc .).

Carbon nanotubes have been used to sense ionization of gaseous molecules while nanotubes made out of titanium have been employed to detect atmospheric concentrations of hydrogen at the molecular level.

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

Carbon atoms may have different numbers of neutrons ; atoms of the same element having different numbers of neutrons are known as isotopes of the element.

Carbon is most well known for its properties of catenation, with organic chemistry essentially being the study of catenated carbon structures ( otherwise known as catenae ).

Carbon nanobuds are a newly created material combining two previously discovered allotropes of carbon: carbon nanotubes and fullerenes.

The second article detailed the discovery of the endohedral fullerenes in " Lanthanum Complexes of Spheroidal Carbon Shells " in the Journal of the American Chemical Society v. 107 p 7779 ( 1985 ).

The third announced the discovery of the fullerenes in " Reactivity of Large Carbon Clusters: Spheroidal Carbon Shells and Their Possible Relevance to the Formation and Morphology of Soot " in the Journal of Physical Chemistry v. 90 p 525 ( 1986 ).

In 1939 the companies were acquired by the Union Carbide and Carbon Corporation.

Carbon inks were commonly made from lampblack or soot and a binding agent such as gum arabic or animal glue.

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.

Rainwater absorbs fractional amounts of Carbon dioxide from the air as it falls, making a weak carbonic acid solution that eats into the limestone and eventually forms hollows and channels Local bedouin have always know these caves and some were used as water supplies.

In 1957, the launch of Sputnik I, Earth's first artificial satellite, was observed by a Vulcan vessel that subsequently crashed on the planet, marooning several crew members for a number of months in Carbon Creek, Pennsylvania ; this constituted the first true contact between Humans and Vulcans, but it was never recorded as such as the Humans were unaware of the alien nature of their guests.
