TRIVIA - Best conductor material?

RK,
Without researching, I'd opt for Mercury.

My guess was, even before I read any of the answers given above, and still remains, "human nerve cells." I don't think I have much silver inside, but there's a lot of that stuff, and it seems to still be working well. I see that they are not on any of the lists above. But then, you didn't say anything about the "naturally occurring conductive material" having to be a metal or a combination of metals. :wink:

Cows are the most conductive. Then chickens.

Electrical conductivity, or heat conductivity?

That just made me hungry!:smile:

Sir Henry Wood, another good conductor..
:wink:

silver is the best conductor

I don't know who Sir Henry Wood is, but aren't guys like Pierre Monteux, Leopold Stokowski and Arturo Toscanni good conductors?
And how about the train guy who let me ride without a ticket? Isn't he a good conductor or what?
Even better than silver is whatever they [we] use in super conductors.

All good conductors.

Silver.

Or is it triconium diphospate zincous oxide?

I think thats only used in the retro-entabulator installations.

Marc,

You were NOT supposed to Research this topic!

As you can see: Silver, Gold, Copper, Aluminum.

I don't see any commonly used radioactive isotopes shown on that list. I would expect that plutonium 238, for example, would be significantly more conductive than the naturally occuring plutonium listed on the table. I wonder where it falls on the list, though.
