Surprisingly, they found that the thermal conductivity that could be attributed to the electrons in the material was 10 times smaller than that amount predicted by the Wiedemann-Franz Law.
Could be read as the electrons are smaller than normal material electrons....LOL
I prefer bigger electrons myself.
So, wire might not overheat..
Lets see.... Melting point 1967 C / 3588 F about same as steel..so processing equipment might already be available
Density - 4.339 .. about same as steel
Sl. soluble in , acid, alkaline environments ...
If used as a wire for electricity...would it heat up until it reached a specific temp and then stop heating up further ?
As an oxide it's technically not a metal, like the headline says, but a compound like rust is oxidized iron. We don't consider rust a metal, because it's not..
Note I said "as a wire"....its an inorganic compound, like ferrous oxide..But this does not mean that you cannot use it as a wire (ie serving the same function).
You have not re-wired your house yet ?
Think of the implications, good and bad, for home wiring use.
