Understand conduction where heat flows through, and across more conductive materials in an otherwise well-insulated wall, floor or ceiling, for significant heat loss.
Stronger than diamond, more conductive than copper and more flexible than rubber, the "miracle material" was the target of a £50m investment by UK Chancellor George Osborne.
That's nearly four times more elastic than any other conducting substance, he says, and about 100 times more conductive than any other known elastic material.
Moreover, as the solution became more conductive, the charge transfer took place less through surface conduction and more through solution conductance.
The denser it gets, the more conductive it gets.
The more conductive spots then automatically draw more power and get hotter.
In contrast, Touchco uses a technology called interpolating force-sensitive resistance, or I.F.S.R., which uses force-sensitive resistors that become more conductive as you apply more pressure.
When exposed to nitrous oxide, for example, the tubes became up to 1000 times more conductive.
But that's not the only factor at play: Some areas of Earth's crust are more conductive than others.
Mr Mistry explained that the extra surface area made them more conductive, and able to work better on lower power.
