Carbon nanotubules has demonstrated much greater conduction of heat and electrons than any metal, including silver. Besides which they are many times stronger also.&nbsp; The transmission of electrons ( electricity) is by a different mechanism than metals, so there is only a fraction of the heat generated.</p><p><br /></p><p>Since they are carbon ( relative of buckyballs) they do not reflect the visible wavelength as well as silver, but they seem to be able to absorb photons and pass on the energy, so that could eliminate any silver in solar cells in the future, as internal heat would be reduced.
