You can flatten it, bend it, melt it and harden it again -- yet it’ll still remain one of the most important metals on Earth. This week is all about copper. * Holding down the 29th spot on the ...

A research team at the University of Arizona College of Medicine–Tucson is developing a drug that works in combination with copper to kill bacteria, including those that cause MRSA, a type of staph ...

A UCLA-led, multi-institution research team has discovered a metallic material with the highest thermal conductivity measured among metals, challenging long-standing assumptions about the limits of ...

Inside the race for copper: Can we mine enough to power the green revolution? Copper is a metal of the past. Its time has come and gone. Right? Not so fast. Many modern technologies have thrust copper ...

Just like we recycle waste, repurposing excess CO2 from the atmosphere could be one way to abate the worsening climate crisis. In electrochemical reduction, CO2 is converted into industrial products ...

Transition Metal Solutions is applying a special cocktail to coax microbes into unlocking more copper from ore.

It’s affordable and easy to work with, but can’t even come close to comparing to copper in terms of conductivity. It’s only 59.8% as conductive as silver, leaving it far short of what copper delivers.
