Damn. Really? This whole time I thought it was so loved because of it's conductivity. Isn't it used in CPUs? Is that again because of the lack of corrosion? I could see having something not build up like that would be better than the conductivity improvements.
Gold can be drawn into extremely fine wire. That allows for a high connection density between the actual chip and the carrier. Its self-welding properties allow those connections to be made with minimal heat.
electrical conductivity of gold is 70% of copper. gold is plated on electronics to prevent corrosion

I believe silver is more conductive than copper, but it struggles with oxidation too. The best wire would be gold coated silver.
Or gold-pressed latinium. ;)
Latinum is liquid, so no. Silver would make the best wire.
How about platinum-plated silver? Assuming platinum is more resistant to corrosion that gold
We would all have gold hollow points then.
shhh. smoothbrains. don't hurt their fee fees
Nah. Dude's cool. I never knew that and happy I was corrected.
saying that is the equivalent of a caveman calling you a smooth brain because you cant knapp flint rocks
Unironically proving how retarded you are considering how hard knapping really is.
woooshh
