U.S. Parent. OpenText. Carbonite, Inc. is an American company that offers an online backup service, available to Windows and macOS users. In 2019 it was acquired by Canadian software company OpenText. It backs up documents, e-mails, music, photos, and settings. [ 1 ] It is named after carbonite, the fictional substance used to freeze Han Solo ...
Carbonite (ion), the inorganic anion that forms the conjugate base of dihydroxymethylidene with the chemical formula [CO 2] 2−. Carbonite (online backup), an online backup service. Carbonite (Star Wars), a fictional substance, most notably used to imprison Han Solo in the film The Empire Strikes Back. Carbonite-2, an imagery technology ...
The carbonite ion is an anion with the chemical formula C O 2− 2. This divalent anion forms by deprotonation of carbonous acid ( C(OH) 2 ). Alkali metal salts of carbonous acid, Li 2 CO 2 ( lithium carbonite), K 2 CO 2 ( potassium carbonite), Rb 2 CO 2 ( rubidium carbonite) and Cs 2 CO 2 ( caesium carbonite), have been observed at 15 K .
The technology is still being researched and developed by scientists into a more sophisticated form. Carbonite exists in real life as a type of gunpowder. According to professor James H. Fallon, the carbonite used in Star Wars might be a "dry ice" with an opposite charge. He further speculates that it is a form of carbon dioxide mineral, which ...
Aragonite is a carbonate mineral and one of the three most common naturally occurring crystal forms of calcium carbonate (Ca CO 3), the others being calcite and vaterite. It is formed by biological and physical processes, including precipitation from marine and freshwater environments. Aragonite crystal structure.
Carbonite was one of the earliest and most successful coal-mining explosives. [ 1 ] It is made from such ingredients as nitroglycerin, wood meal, and some nitrate as that of sodium; also nitrobenzene, sulfur, and diatomaceous earth. Carbonite was invented by Bichel of Schmidt and Bichel. [who?][ 2 ] The term Carbonite can refer to these things:
Carbonatite (/ kɑːrˈbɒnəˌtaɪt /) is a type of intrusive or extrusive igneous rock defined by mineralogic composition consisting of greater than 50% carbonate minerals. [ 1 ] Carbonatites may be confused with marble and may require geochemical verification. Carbonatites usually occur as small plugs within zoned alkalic intrusive complexes ...
Carbonate rock. Carbonate ooids on the surface of a limestone; Carmel Formation (Middle Jurassic) of southern Utah, USA. Largest is 1.0 mm in diameter. Carbonate rocks are a class of sedimentary rocks composed primarily of carbonate minerals. The two major types are limestone, which is composed of calcite or aragonite (different crystal forms ...
