The Work Song Nanocluster - S2-E18
Trivia: After Sheldon mentions a molecular sieve, they go over to 4a, their apartment. 4a is a kind of molecular sieve.
The Euclid Alternative - S2-E5
Question: Though it comes up in other episodes as well, this one is focused on Sheldon needing a ride everywhere he goes because he can't drive, not to mention his not being welcome on the bus.

Answer: Sheldon DID finally use a taxi when going to the airport to see and propose to Amy in New Jersey.
