Carbon Sciences Plans to Extend Its Presence in the $3.8 Trillion Information Technology Market

SANTA BARBARA, CA--(Marketwired - February 09, 2016) - Carbon Sciences Inc. (OTCBB: CABN), focused on developing breakthrough technologies based on graphene, the new miracle material, today announced its growth-by-acquisition strategy to extend its presence in the $3.8 trillion worldwide information technology (IT) market. The company plans to grow by acquiring profitable IT services providers, which in the future may also provide a channel of distribution for its graphene-based networking device technology currently in early research and development.

"After carefully studying the IT market, we are convinced that there is an enormous market opportunity on the services side," said Bill Beifuss, the company's president. "The services sector alone accounts for approximately $1 trillion of the total $3.8 trillion total worldwide IT market."

Mr. Beifuss continued, "Cognizant Technology (CTSH), a $35 billion company, is a good example of a successful growth-by-acquisition strategy in the IT space. Today, Cognizant is focused on acquiring large IT services providers. Our plan is to focus on the smaller local and regional players. We are actively recruiting experienced M&A executives to join our management team to help us execute this plan."

Carbon Sciences will continue to work with the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to develop 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 believes that new materials, such as graphene, must be explored and used to significantly increase the speed of data movement in the Cloud. This will unleash a global era of high-resolution video on demand, high fidelity music streaming, high volume e-commerce and many more Cloud-based services.

UCSB is considered to be a global leader in bioengineering, chemical and computational engineering, materials science, nanotechnology and physics. UCSB boasts five Nobel Laureates (four in sciences and engineering) and one winner of the prestigious Millennium Technology Prize. The 2014 Academic Ranking of World Universities ranked UCSB Engineering/Technology and Computer Science as #7 in the world.

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 graphene-based devices to enable ultrafast fiber optics communication in Cloud computing infrastructure.

Moore's Law has enabled computers to process information at extreme high speeds. However, the speed of data movement between computers in the Cloud is bottlenecked by fundamental limitations of today's fiber optics technology. By exploiting the natural breakthrough optical and electrical properties of graphene, we are developing next generation fiber optics components that are ultrafast, low power and low cost. We believe graphene-based components, such as photodetectors, optical switches and modulators, will unclog the bottlenecks in the Cloud and unleash a global era of high resolution video on demand, high fidelity music streaming, high volume e-commerce and many more Cloud-based services.
