Top 5 Copper-Based Technologies That Changed
Human Life
Copper is the basic element that drives
innovation in the world. It is not something that
began a few years ago. Copper has always fuelled
inventions for centuries and led to discovery and
upgrade of new technologies. From Stone Age to
Computer Age, copper has been a consistent member
in the list of elements that was used extensively
to improve designs, efficiency and performance.

Here are 5 copper-based technologies that changed
the course of mankind and the way we live our
life now.
  • Weapons of high durability
  • Surgical tools and medical technology
  • Drive around
  • Welcome to the Space age
  • Digital Age Chips and the art of getting smaller

Weapons of high durability
Cave dwellers discovered copper pieces and
attached them to wooden sticks. The first axe was
made like this. It not only helped them in
securing new places by cutting trees and clearing
boulders, but also served as a hunting tool. New
designs and upgrades in the way copper is
engineered led to the preparation of advanced
hand-held tools and weapons like swords, knives
and dagger, ploughs and needle.

Surgical tools and medical technology
Copper wires and scalpel are important
constituents of the medical technology. Earlier,
the Bare copper wire and its alloys were used
extensively to refit broken jaws, re-attach hips
and support backbone. With time, surgical threads
made of finer materials took over but the
importance of copper in surgical process did not
diminish. Today, copper-based scalpel is used as
self-cauterizing tool as it conducts electric
current and gets heated. It is also used in
numerous diagnostic tools like CRT Machine, ECG
and MRI scan tubes.

Drive around
Copper and steel play a significant role in the
way we move around on the land. For centuries,
copper wheels and rims were used in the chariots
and sledges. When the 19th century turned around,
the first bikes and cars came about relying
heavily on copper, iron and bronze. The
mechanical and electrical parts were made of
stranded copper alloys. The paints and electrical
parts were manufactured using electroplating
techniques. Cars and trains use tinned and other
insulated types of copper wires in motors and
conductor units.

Welcome to the Space age
Aeronautics, aviations and space program also
rely heavily on the way copper wires were
manufactured. Engineering and chemical processes
in the 20th century changed drastically owing to
the control over optics and conductivity
properties of various elements. Coppers
durability and malleability ensured that the
stranded and braided copper wires could be used
in smaller motors. It boosted the space programs
and manned mission to Moon. Today, copper and
optic fibre cables play a significant role in the
electronic equipments used in space shuttles and
rovers moving to the outer space.

Digital Age Chips and the art of getting smaller
Copper is the core of micro-economics. It is the
centre of nano-technology. Coppers superlative
conductivity is the prime reason why it fits
perfectly in every innovation and novel
technologies without a glitch. It requires hardly
any major upgrade to be used in latest
technologies. Today, all marketable chips are
manufactured using copper as the base metal. Chop
makers use copper rather than aluminium
inter-connectors to link the transistors.
