Carbon nanotube-based fibers have greater capacity to carry electrical current than copper cables of the same mass, scientists show. On a pound-per-pound basis, carbon nanotube-based fibers invented ...
Figure 1: Fabrication and ampacity of CNT–Cu composite. We numerically estimated the ampacity of the CNT–Cu composite by assuming that the material ruptured by current-induced Joule heating, leading ...
