You use words like pressure, proppant, conductivity and think you have blinded us with science.
The conductivity of carbon nanotubes, by contrast, depends critically on size, shape and twistiness.
As such, it possesses the novel mechanical properties of carbon nanotube-like tensile strength--in addition to high electrical conductivity.
This is a cylinder composed solely of carbon atoms, and one of its properties is good electrical conductivity.
Think about that as your hybrid runs stealthily on battery power, brought to motion by the conductivity of copper.
It involved installing satellite-linked conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) loggers on three white whales (Delphinapterus leucas).
The switch's conductivity could be changed by manipulating the levels of electrical current.
"Sodium has - by a factor of 50 - better electro-conductivity, " the University's Dr Agris Gailetis told Science In Action.
They have been embedded in materials like plastics to increase their toughness and provide electrical conductivity for components that are electrostatically painted.
They often have interesting properties, such as poor heat conductivity (which makes them good insulators) and low friction (which makes them slippery).
Silver is known for its high conductivity and its 'colorless' sonic presentation.
The second desideratum, of low thermal and high electrical conductivity, was achieved by dividing the bismuth telluride into pellets a few nanometres across.
The resin itself is being dubbed Orgacon, and tests have shown it to have a 6x improvement over ITO in terms of electrical conductivity.

Microcapsules in the gold circuit released liquid metal in response to damage, swiftly restoring electrical conductivity, and bringing self-repairing electronic chips a step closer.
"The sensor detects the conductivity of the liquids, " says Mr Nojima.
That does not affect their electrical conductivity, but nanoscale particles like this are known to scatter and obstruct the passage of heat through imperfectly understood quantum-mechanical processes.
Electrocardiograms are useful in showing electrical conductivity in the heart.
When the explorer drills the ice to make a physical measurement of thickness, he will use the hole to lower a 4kg conductivity-temperature device (CTD) into the ocean below.
Hugh Jenner-Clarke, an 83-year-old Englishman, recently found a major deposit of 950, 000 tons of rare earths, a group of 17 elements prized for distinct properties of conductivity, magnetism and flexibility.

The properties of such sheets can be adjusted to create a smart skin with conductivity, hardness or thermal resistance that varies across the thickness of the coating making them ideal for miniature sensors.
Because the two materials exhibit a high thermal conductivity, they allow the device to cool more efficiently while distributing said heat -- 25 percent quicker than the pure copper in many pieces of tech.

You see, it's been difficult for OLED builders to secure enough electrical conductivity of ITO in a low-temperature process, and this new methodology is perfectly suited for the coating method (which makes it ripe for printing).
ENGADGET: Resin replaces ITO in latest flexible OLED prototype
As it happens, the coffee-like stains that he and his colleagues had been trying to remove with fast-drying solvents was actually the solution to his problem, since they remained in contact with each other as they dried and preserved conductivity, but left about 95 percent of the light through the holes in the center, thereby making the screen itself almost fully transparent.
