2411 examples of Carbon in a sentence

Essentially, I could weave a bunch of these antibodies into a network of carbon nanotubes, such that you have a network that only reacts with one protein, but also, due to the properties of these nanotubes, it will change its electrical properties, based on the amount of protein present.
These networks of carbon nanotubes are extremely flimsy.
So our building block is carbon nanotubes, for example, to create a large, rivet-less skeleton at the end of the day.
So imagine you have carbon nanotubes growing inside a 3D printer, and they are embedded inside a matrix of plastic, and follow the forces which occur in your component.
I mean global warming certainly is a massive threat to mankind and we are putting a lot of time and energy into, A, trying to come up with alternative fuels and, B, you know, we just launched this prize, which is really a prize in case we don't get an answer on alternative fuels, in case we don't actually manage to get the carbon emissions cut down quickly, and in case we go through the tipping point.
We need to try to encourage people to come up with a way of extracting carbon out of the Earth's atmosphere.
Well, it seems that when whales were at their historic populations, they were probably responsible for sequestering some tens of millions of tons of carbon every year from the atmosphere.
Eighty percent of carbon emissions come from cities, which means cities are in a position to solve the carbon problem, or most of it, whether or not the states of which they are a part make agreements with one another.
Los Angeles cleaned up its port, which was 40 percent of carbon emissions, and as a result got rid of about 20 percent of carbon.
Now, technologists, business leaders and economists all basically agree on what national policies and international treaties would spur the development of alternative energy: mostly, a significant increase in energy research and development, and some kind of price on carbon.
The carbon mapping of America, where is the CO2 being emitted, for many years only hammered this argument in more strongly.
If you look at any carbon map, because we map it per square mile, any carbon map of the U.S., it looks like a night sky satellite photo of the U.S., hottest in the cities, cooler in the suburbs, dark, peaceful in the countryside.
A log burning in my German high-tech stove apparently, supposedly, contributes less carbon to the atmosphere than were it left alone to decompose in the forest.
So, we already know that people who live in transit-rich areas, live in apartment buildings, have a far lower carbon footprint than their suburban counterparts.
But if we could use carbon fiber in those cables, we could go more than 10 kilometers.
The first questions is, how do we manage our carbon reserves in tropical forests?
Tropical forests contain a huge amount of carbon in the trees, and we need to keep that carbon in those forests if we're going to avoid any further global warming.
Unfortunately, global carbon emissions from deforestation now equals the global transportation sector.
If you don't know where the carbon is exactly, in detail, how can you know what you're losing?
With our system, we're able to see the carbon stocks of tropical forests in utter detail.
We've been using the technology to explore and to actually put out the first carbon geographies in high resolution in faraway places like the Amazon Basin and not-so-faraway places like the United States and Central America.
What I'm going to do is I'm going to take you on a high-resolution, first-time tour of the carbon landscapes of Peru and then Panama.
Red is extremely high carbon stocks, your largest cathedral forests you can imagine, and blue are very low carbon stocks.
And let me tell you, Peru alone is an amazing place, totally unknown in terms of its carbon geography until today.
We can fly to this area in northern Peru and see super high carbon stocks in red, and the Amazon River and floodplain cutting right through it.
We can also fly to the southern Andes to see the tree line and see exactly how the carbon geography ends as we go up into the mountain system.
We can go to one of the smallest tropical countries, Panama, and see also a huge range of carbon variation, from high in red to low in blue.
Unfortunately, most of the carbon is lost in the lowlands, but what you see that's left, in terms of high carbon stocks in greens and reds, is the stuff that's up in the mountains.
This kind of carbon mapping has transformed conservation and resource policy development.
In terms of carbon emissions per ton per mile, it emits about a thousandth of aviation and about a tenth of trucking.
