The rings may consist of ice particles coated with silicates or carbon-based material, which most likely gives them a reddish hue.

He believes new carbon-based materials can be created through nanotechnology that will open up new vistas in medicine and electronics.

Composite electrodes are constructed from carbon-based material with metal oxides and/or conducting polymers.

Human activities release carbon dioxide to the atmosphere through the burning of wood, coal, oil, natural gas, and other carbon-based materials.

Living things also employ and contain plenty of other carbon-based materials that do not fit so easily into these neat compartments.

Often, heat-resistant carbon-based materials are used, such as amorphous graphite or carbon-carbon.

The researchers at Bell Labs have also made the first electrically driven laser out of a carbon-based material.

Today's work with carbon-based materials could lead to a wire made of a single polymer strand and calculations performed by interconnected molecules.

Soon the linked collection of factories in the landers began to produce a variety of carbon-based materials, and some composites.

In fact, asteroid showers and comet collisions may have promoted life on Earth by depositing carbon-based materials and water.
