The landscaper chose absorbent grounds near the stream to help manage runoff.

I had the shock absorbers replaced because the car was bouncing over every bump.

The researchers compared the absorbed doses recorded by the two detectors after the experiment.

The nurse reached for the absorbent cotton to clean the wound quickly.

The technician wiped the spill with several absorbent papers before continuing the experiment.

She used a sheet of absorbent paper to quickly blot the spilled coffee before it soaked into the table.

She would often absorb herself in the old journals for hours, forgetting the world around her.

The hospital installed thick panes of X-ray absorbing glass in the radiology suite to protect staff from scattered radiation.

The lab ordered several X-ray absorbing glasses to protect the detectors during calibration.

The Wheeler-Feynman absorber theory proposes an interpretation of electrodynamics based on the assumption that solutions of the electromagnetic field equations must be invariant under time reversal, just as the equations themselves are.
