SANTA BARBARA, California, June 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
Carbon Sciences Inc. (OTC: CABN), developer of breakthrough
technologies based on graphene, the new miracle material, today announced that the University of California
at Santa Barbara (UCSB), which is conducting the research on the graphene-based optical modulator, remains among the top
10 universities worldwide for research impact, as listed by the 2016 Leiden Rankings. UCSB is ranked No. 1 among public
institutions in the U.S. in terms of scientific research impact.
"To have the University directing our research so highly ranked by such a distinguished source, really strengthens confidence
in our endeavors," stated Bill Beifuss, President of Carbon Sciences. "We believe that in
selecting UCSB, we have mobilized the most talented and capable engineering team for the development of our graphene-based
optical modulator."
The Company recently announced that the UCSB research team has developed a novel modeling technique that allowed for the
precise calculation of optical waveguide properties containing graphene. This technique should theoretically enable more precise
design and simulation of graphene optical devices, such as a modulator. The modeling technique and findings have been accepted
for publication and presentation in the Advanced Photonics 2016 Congress, sponsored by The Optical Society.
UCSB's scientific publications - which include papers in the areas of life, biomedical, mathematics, engineering, computer,
natural and social sciences and humanities - are cited an average of 11.72 times. For 2016, 20.5 percent of its scientific
publications belong in the top 10 percent of most frequently cited publications, putting UCSB at No. 8 worldwide for that
indicator.
In consideration of the proportion of the university's scientific publications in the top 1 percent most frequently cited Web
of Science core publications, UCSB ranks 7th worldwide. This ranking also places UCSB No. 6 among U.S. universities
and No. 1 among public institutions in the country in terms of scientific research impact, with specific strengths in the fields
of physical sciences and engineering, as well as in the life and earth sciences.
Prominent for ranking the World's most influential research contributors, Leiden University derives its 2016 findings based on
compiled data from the Web of Science bibliographic database, taking into account the Web of Science core publications from 2011
to 2014. Impact is determined by several indicators, including the average number of citations from all university
publications.
Carbon Sciences and UCSB have recently extended their sponsored research program research on the design of a state-of-the-art
optical modulator, a critical fiber optic component for the encoding and transmission of digital data. The goal is to create a
design that is ultrafast, low cost, and low power. During the process, the team developed a novel modeling technique that
facilitates the precise calculation of optical waveguide properties containing graphene. The team reported that they would be
able to fabricate a complete modulator device by the end of September 2016.
Fiber optic technology, being the backbone of the Internet, has encountered explosive growth in Internet data, in large part
as a result of an ever-growing number of Cloud-based services such as Netflix, Facebook, and Google. Consequently, the
fundamental speed limits of current state-of-the-art fiber optic materials are being substantially challenged. In consideration,
Management believes that new materials, such as graphene, must be explored and used to significantly increase the speed of data
movement in the Cloud. The Company believes that graphene technology has the potential to revolutionize ultrafast data
communication. Thereby unleashing a global era of high-resolution video on demand, high fidelity music streaming, high volume
e-commerce and many more Cloud-based services.
About Carbon Sciences, Inc.: Carbon Sciences is developing breakthrough technologies based on graphene, the new miracle
material. Graphene, a sheet of pure carbon that is only one atom thick, is flexible, transparent, impermeable to moisture,
stronger than diamonds and more conductive than gold. After successfully exploring methods to produce low cost graphene, Carbon
Sciences is now developing a new graphene-based optical modulator, a critical fiber optics component needed to help unclog the
existing bottlenecks and enable ultrafast communication in data centers for Cloud computing. The Company is also undertaking a
growth-by-acquisition strategy to extend its presence in the $3.8 trillion worldwide information
technology (IT) market with a particular focus on profitable IT services providers. To learn more about Carbon Sciences, please
