New aluminum alloy better than pure copper
There's a small company with a carbon nanotube impregnated aluminum alloy (also some brass etc in there - google the patent if you want - Bourque Industries). It exceeds Copper 11000 in thermal and electrical conductivity. Nice. Normally aluminum is about 59% of copper in thermal and electrical cond...

For neutronic and/or very high percentage bremsstrahlung fusion it seems using aluminum would be a good (maybe the only feasible) material choice for engineering a polywell design that lets neutrons and x-rays just "pass through" to a moderator layer/fluid for thermalizing the neutrons via boiling p...
