A chain of copper and carbon atoms can be the thinnest metal wire
Credit: ACS Nano (2024). DOI: 10.1021/acsnano.3c12802 Researchers from EPFL’s Laboratory for Theory and Simulation of Materials in Lausanne, part of the NCCR MARVEL, have used computational methods to identify what could be the thinnest possible metal wire, as well as several other one-dimensional materials with properties that could be of interest to many applications. One-dimensional … Read more
