These conductors have gold electrodes with nanomesh (network of well connected nanowires made in gold). They allow for extreme stretchability along with good electrical conductivity. The scientists at University of Houston also see this electrical conductor being used in biomedical devices. Lead research Zhifeng Ren suggested that gold nanomesh electrodes with novel grain boundary lithography tend to give on a slight resistance. This nanomesh conducts electricity and is transparent. Gold is preferred over silver or copper because this nanomesh doesn’t oxidize so soon. Therefore, this gold nanomesh is transparent, stretchable and conductive.
