conductivity

The metal doesn’t have the same conductivity as copper, but it is lighter and has valuable applications in electricity and electric vehicles.

Solar and wind power depend heavily on copper due to its high conductivity – and Peru is the world's second-largest producer.

One of the most exciting findings was a dramatic increase in diamond surface conductivity -- up to seven times higher -- after laser treatment.

But why is the conductivity of the conventional perovskite-type proton conductors so low?

Since its discovery in 2004, the material -- a single layer of carbon atoms -- has been touted for its host of unique properties, which include ultra-high electrical conductivity and remarkable tensile strength.
