A new nano-scale thin film material with the highest-ever conductivity in its class has been found by a team of researchers, led by the University of Minnesota. The new material could lead to smaller, faster, and more powerful electronics, as well as more efficient solar cells. Besides high conductivity, it also has a wide bandgap, which means light can easily pass through the material making it optically transparent. In most cases, materials with wide bandgap, usually have either low conductivity or poor transparency.

“The high conductivity and wide bandgap make this an ideal material for making optically transparent conducting fil...
