Carbon-based structures, such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have much higher electrical conductivity than copper, as does graphene. The main issue is that making wires out of them is not exactly ...

Alvarez and his research partners at Texas A&M University, led by chemical engineering Professor Jorge Seminario, demonstrated ways to bond nanotubes chemically to copper, aluminum, gold and other ...

Achieving the strongest, thinnest, and most conductive graphene would require manufacturers to grow a perfect single layer, ...
