What if electric motors no longer needed copper or aluminum coils?
Researchers at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) have developed a revolutionary carbon nanotube wiring system that may replace metal in electric coils, opening the door to lighter, flexible, and more efficient electric motors.
This isn’t a concept—it’s real. Using a technique called Lyotropic Liquid Crystal-Assisted Surface Texturing (LAST), they’ve created Core-Sheath Composite Electric Cables (CSCEC) that conduct electricity without metal. In this video, we explore how this technology works, where it could be used, and what challenges remain.
We’re talking about a possible turning point for electric vehicles, aerospace, robotics, and beyond.
