NASA thinks otherwise. The nanotubes are made of Graphene. https://www.nasa.gov/centers/johnson/news/releases/J05-018.html and (more recently): https://data.nasa.gov/dataset/Lightweight-Metal-Rubber-Wire-and-Cable-for-Space-/w9zc-rwqy
carbon nanotube tech still not more conductive than copper
Hey been researching CNT and find that no one has gotten the tech down for CNT to be a superconductor as for use a a wire. I see numbers on the order of 15-20 % of copper. So how can a manufacturer say they have a better conductor when it’s not perfected yet,seems to be more snake oil.

Happy hunting! Van Den Hul has quite a following, around the world. At least; they did for years. They’re working with the technology: https://www.vandenhul.com/product/cnt-carbon-nano-tube/ |
Interesting articles I found on CNT. Lighter, stronger, better conductivity than copper. Be great for electric cars, spacecraft, airplanes, electric utilities all kinds of things. I can’t really picture why a lighter, stronger, less resistant power cord, interconnect or speaker wire would change the sound of anything. Might make components more efficient and speakers a tiny bit lighter. |
