New thermal insulator outperforms any material found in nature
Researchers have engineered a new material that is an extreme thermal insulator, is exceptionally stiff and can be printed as a thin film at large scales.
AI Summary
Researchers have engineered a new dense, non‑porous material that acts as an extreme thermal insulator while also being exceptionally stiff. It can be printed as a thin film at large scales and exhibits one of the lowest thermal conductivity values recorded for any solid, nearing the theoretical limit for insulating performance.
