Yes. Some houses use aluminum wire ,instead of Copper, to carry electricity. But Aluminum wire has to be a little larger around then Copper because its not as good a conductor and using the same size wire will waste voltage and it might also get too hot.

∙ 13y agoAny material, if thin enough, has a certain amount of transparency. Aluminum deposited on glass at a thickness below 10 nm is easily transparent enough to see through. Mirrored sun-glasses comes to mind here.

∙ 12y agoYes due to the fact it is a metal and metals have delocalised (free) electrons which allow the electrons to move around the metal conducting heat and electricity easier than non metals

What is conductive glass?
It is glass which has a thin layer, virtually transparent, of electrically conductive material such as Tin Oxide deposited on the surface.
Can you use an aluminium wire instead of copper for a simple electrical circuit?
Yes, you can use an aluminum wire. Aluminum does conduct electricity. However, there is a well-known problem with aluminum wire. When exposed to air, the outer layer of aluminum forms a non-conductive oxide. There is resistance to the flow of electricity as it attempts to get through the aluminum oxide coating to the conductive aluminum below. When aluminum wire is used to reduce weight, it is usually welded to another metal that makes a better contact, such as copper. The contact metal is then what is connected.
Why shouldn't you do electrical work on an aluminium ladder?
Aluminum is highly conductive and creates an electrical pathway to ground.
Why will aluminum foil conduct electricity?
Since aluminum foil is made of aluminum, which is a metal, its structure contains metallic bonds. These bonds involve a sea of free electrons floating around the entire structure. Therefore, charge could be easily transferred due to these disassociated electrons. Aluminium conducts electricity very well.
Which would melt first aluminum or iron?
The rate at which water freezes depends on the thermal conductivity of the container. Plastic is generally not very thermally conductive, whereas aluminum foil is more thermally conductive. Thus, as long as the foil is not very much thinner than the plastic, the water will freeze faster in the foil.
Does aluminum or copper produce more electricity?
Copper is more electrically conductive than aluminum (this is because aluminum forms a monomolecular layer of non-conductive aluminum oxide on its surface).
Is aluminum electrical?
Electrically conductive - yes
What is conductive glass?
It is glass which has a thin layer, virtually transparent, of electrically conductive material such as Tin Oxide deposited on the surface.
What is the transperancy of aluminum?
Zero. It is not transparent.
Is mica more or less conductive than aluminum?
Less.
What is a highly conductive metal?
A highly conductive metal is one where the availability of electron flow is high. Examples are copper, silver, aluminum, etc.
Which metals are not conductor?
All are conductive iron materials. Gold. copper. Aluminum. Iron. And … . . . . .
Does aluminum foil reflect more light than transparent glass?
no
Is transparent aluminum possible?
Only on Star Trek do we find transparent aluminum. Any aluminum matrix is opaque. You can't see through it. Actually there is such thing as transparent aluminum but the power required for the x-ray laser is more than a whole city's worth and the beam must be focused down to a point of less than one-twentieth of a human hair and only lasts for 40 femtoseconds.

Does aluminium solution conduct electricity?
Aluminum (metal) is insoluble. In metallic form it Al is rather conductive.

Aluminum is highly conductive and creates an electrical pathway to ground.
