 Carbon Nanotube! Riley's favorite subject. Summary Carbon nanotube wiring gets closer to competing with copper. While this material degrades over time, it could point to better ones.   Quotes Quote Today’s issue of Science includes a paper describing the addition of a chemical to carbon nanotube bundles to boost their ability to carry current to levels closer to those of copper. While the more conductive nanotubes weren’t stable, the discovery may point the way toward something with a longer shelf life.   My thoughts I hope they succeed in making nanotubes a viable alternative to copper, if for no other reason than to eliminate copper wire theft.     Sources  https://arstechnica.com/science/2026/04/researchers-get-carbon-nanotube-wiring-to-conduct-more-like-copper/
