This type of strong motion seismometer recorded upon a smoked glass (glass with carbon soot).
Buckyballs are chemically similar to carbon soot.
Selene built spacecraft of pure diamond out of piles of carbon soot, using nanomachines.
If polystyrene is properly incinerated at high temperatures, the chemicals generated are water, carbon dioxide, a complex mixture of volatile compounds, and carbon soot.
They are mostly carbon soot, but have a wide range of volagile organic compunds stuck to them.
An example of light absorbing particles is carbon soot generated from combustion processes or forest fires.
They are exceedingly fragile and can be easily damaged, disintegrating with physical contact as the carbon soot is dislodged from the paper.
Newer ships were being built at Selene of pure diamond, manufactured by nanomachines out of carbon soot.
The black inks found on the scrolls that are made up of carbon soot were found to be from olive oil lamps.
(Most particles reflect sunlight like a parasol, cooling the planet; carbon soot tends to absorb energy and heat up.)
