A cable having a conducting member made from a nanostructure-based material, and a shielding layer made of nanostructure-based material. The shielding layer can be circumferentially situated about the conducting member so as to enhance conductivity along the conducting member. A coupling mechanism may be situated between the shielding layer and the conducting member so as to secure the shielding layer in its position on the conducting member. A method of making the cable is also disclosed.

Carbon nanotube-based coaxial electrical cables and wiring harness

A conductive adapter for carrying relatively high current from a source to an external circuit without degradation is provided. The adapter includes a conducting member made from a conductive nanostructure-based material and having opposing ends. The adapter can also include a connector portion positioned on one end of the conducting member for maximizing a number of conductive nanostructures within the conducting member in contact with connector portion, so as to enable efficient conduction between a nanoscale environment and a traditional electrical and/or thermal circuit system. The adapter can further include a coupling mechanism situated between the conducting member and the connector portion, to provide a substantially uniform contact between the conductive nanostructure-based material in the conducting member and the connector portion. A method for making such a conductive adapter is also provided.
