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 ...

While solar modules and inverters can greatly influence the output of a planned solar project, it is important not to overlook how to select and design cabling systems for your solar plant – for ...

Recent research into the properties of graphene nanoribbons provides two new reasons for using the material as interconnects in future computer chips. In widths as narrow as 16 nanometers, graphene ...

Steps taken to enhance copper conductivity by adding carbon nanotubes. Test results for conductivity, current-carrying capacity, and tensile strength. We know that copper (Cu) fortunately combines ...

The deployment of renewables has been growing at a rapid pace in recent years, reaching record levels, according to IRENA. Among all renewable technologies, solar photovoltaic (PV) power has been ...

A new cooling technology has been proposed for EV high-current charging cables. The system relies on the use of subcooled flow boiling to remove the heat from the cable. Experiments were performed to ...
