How to connect : Individual ultralong Ag@C coaxial nanocables can be used as potential interconnects. The nanocables show excellent electrical transport properties in the temperature range of 5.76–300 K (see picture), and the room‐temperature conductivity of the Ag nanowire core is almost the same as that of the bulk silver.
