It’s definitely not as exciting as it sounds. It applies a large current through some graphite rods which causes the carbon to evaporate & deposit on a sample sat underneath. It’s used to coat electrically insulating samples with a conductive layer of carbon for electron microscopy.

It’s how they got Han Solo out of the Carbonite.
