The conductive material woven into the thumb and forefinger allows the wearer to scroll, pinch and tap on any touchscreen device.

It will jump to the floor or the nearest available conductive material.

The strands are also coated with carbon nanotubes, a lightweight, conductive material.

Graphene holds plenty of superlative titles in the materials world: it’s the strongest, thinnest and most conductive material on earth.

A conductive material in the thumb and forefinger lets you text sweetheart messages in the coldest conditions.

Spiders' webs are not only sticky but are so electrically conductive that the silk threads spring out to trap their quarry.

These holes and extra electrons can move along the molecule to make it electrically conductive.

Its creators say the gooey, electrically conductive material can stretch more than 3,400 per cent and quickly return to its original form.

Depending on the density, carbon aerogels may be electrically conductive, making composite aerogel paper useful for electrodes in capacitors or deionization electrodes.

Silver-based thermal grease can also be either slightly electrically conductive or capacitive; if some flows onto the circuits it can cause malfunctioning and damage.

The beams render the air highly conductive to electricity.

These highly conductive and magnetic metals were good for basic uses - flints in cigarette lighters, luminescence for colour televisions - but they did not command high prices.

The tin dioxide coatings formed are transparent to visible light, reflect infrared light, and are highly conductive.

This permits the co-firing with highly conductive materials (silver, copper and gold).

This highly conductive arc supports efficient tank circuit oscillations.
