Researchers get carbon nanotube wiring to conduct more like copper

Carbon nanotubes come in various forms, including single-walled and multi-walled types. Single-walled nanotubes can be visualized as a rolled-up sheet of graphene, while multi-walled nanotubes consist of multiple layers wrapped around a core. The metallic form of these nanotubes offers minimal resistance to electron flow, but the majority of electrons are bound in chemical bonds, limiting their availability for current conduction.
