Increasing resistivity of metal wires with reducing nanoscale dimensions is a major performance bottleneck semiconductor computing technologies. We show that metals suitably anisotropic Fermi velocity distributions can strongly suppress electron scattering by surfaces and outperform isotropic conductors such as copper in wires. derive corresponding descriptor for the scaling conductors, screen thousands using first-principles calculations this descriptor, identify most promising materials...
