Aluminum could overtake copper as the king of electricity

PNNL scientists have succeeded in increasing the conductivity of aluminum Scientists at PNNL (Pacific Northwest National Laboratory) are proposing how to increase the conductivity of aluminum, making it economically competitive with copper. The first simulation of the conductivity of aluminum opens the door to experiments that, if fully realized, could lead to an alternative to copper.
