<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NorthKorea, post: 1680045, member: 29643&quot;]As DG pointed out, the conductivity and electronic applications of silver will be surpassed very shortly (perhaps as early as 2018) by carbon materials. As for reflecting light, that&#039;s an inaccurate and deceptive statement that nothing in the known universe reflects light better. Of aluminum, silver and gold, silver has the highest reflecting value for the 505-520 nanometer wavelengths. Basically, silver reflects GREEN the most. Aluminum has a higher reflective value for shorter wavelengths (blue and faster), and gold has a higher reflective value for longer wavelengths (yellow and slower).</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: Also, although silver has the highest conductivity, it&#039;s very dense, so there are more efficient materials to use when weight matters. That makes Beryllium more useful as a conductor in situations where you want to minimize weight and don&#039;t care about wasting space. A bit of physical chemistry that I had forgotten. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
