Graphene is the 'new' wonder material that is said to be 5 times a better conductor than copper at room temperature.
Problem is, right now it's mainly a 2d material as it's currently limited to being a few atoms thick.

However, I came across this patent (http://www.google.com/patents/US20130140058)...
"Graphene electrical wire and a method for manufacturing thereof"

So I'm going to sell all my current cables in preparation for the Graphene wonder cable that should be along any time soon...

Quite likely but don't hold your breath, just in case
