The posts supported a network of several thousand metres of metallic wires formed the antenna of the radio telescope. (astro-canada.ca)
Depending on how the CNTs grow, a fraction of these carbon nanotubes can end up behaving like metallic wires that always conduct electricity, instead of acting like semiconductors that can be switched off. (sciencedaily.com)
The process of synthesizing functional one - dimensional materials — as thin metallic wires or paths conjured by chemistry — continues to evolve and push both theory and industry forward. (sciencedaily.com)
