absorber

Women are being sent to prison essentially as a punishment for being poor and falling into debt - they are the shock absorbers of poverty.

Scientists have long known that the ocean, the largest absorber of carbon on Earth, directly controls the amount of atmospheric carbon dioxide.

For example, Fe3Al could be used to 3D print structural parts that can act as shock absorbers for seismic activity.

The team crafted a thermal-trapping device by attaching a synthetic quartz rod to an opaque silicon disk as an energy absorber.

Research shows that the boreal region may experience greatly reduced carbon storage capacity in the coming century due to climate change and increased wildfire activity, reducing its traditional role as an absorber of greenhouse gases.
