The researchers also were pleased to see that adding sodium did not affect the already very low thermal conductivity of the material. (sciencedaily.com)
The phonon transmission results in the three studies gave direction on how to achieve lower thermal conductivity in these nanostructures. (european-mrs.com)
Since adipose tissue has a relatively low thermal conductivity, it does not transfer heat well compared to other tissues and materials. (scientificamerican.com)
