Since it was discovered, graphene was considered a great miracle of technology. At the same time, there were many who tried to take his place - and it seems that now we have another contender giving the guys, according to an article published in the journal Nature.
The material we are talking about is called cadmium arsenide. This is basically a compound with exactly the same conductive properties of graphene; the difference, however, is that cadmium is a crystal with three-dimensional format, balance scales while graphene has only two dimensions.
Right now you're probably wondering why the arsenide be so useful - after all, graphene does more in less space, so to speak. But it is precisely here that is a major weakness of the famous balance scales stuff: for having only two dimensions, it is not exactly easy to produce it in industrial scales, much less add it into components.
As always, many are still accurate research to prove the actual efficiency of cadmium arsenide. Still, there's no denying that a material like these have great potential to become the future of superconductors.
