Material science progress over the past 50 years has been incredible and AI will likely accelerate it even more.

>Copper moves the world’s heat. For more than a century it has been recognized as one of the best heat conductors in nature, and this property made copper the go-to choice to cool electronics, industrial equipment, data centers and power systems. But there’s a new, record-breakingly cool metal in town.

Wow. Usually silver was the go-to to melt an ice cube quickly. 3x the conductivity seems unbelievable, but I don't doubt this.

What would we use that for?

Less material to move heat away from a source to a place where it can be dissipated. Depending on how quickly the material absorbs and gives up that heat, it may not make much difference in small things like a CPU cooler, but for large arrays where heat needs to be taken from something (building cooling, transmitter arrays, etc.) and cooled elsewhere the results could be amazing.
