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.

This is indistinguishable from wizardry to me.

It is wizardry right enough - electricity goes in, magic occurs,l and machine goes ping
