Overview
Single-crystal copper produced by the Ohno continuous-casting process — a heated mold pulls the casting in a way that lets each grain grow up to 125 m without grain boundaries. The result is a conductor with orders-of-magnitude fewer crystal interfaces than OFC over headphone-cable lengths.
