Natural sciences, Physical sciences, Physics Displaying infinite resistivity at finite temperatures; in a state of superinsulation.
- Electron overheating has been shown to give a consistent description of this behavior, but there are other, more exotic, explanations including a novel, superinsulating state and a many-body localized state.2016, Tal Levinson, Adam Doron, Idan Tamir, Girish Chandra Tewari, Dan Shahr, “A Direct Determination of the Temperature of Overheated Electrons in an Insulator”, in arXiv:

Capable of producing superinsulation.
- Silica aerogels as translucent or transparent superinsulating fillers in window systems could help to considerably reduce thermal losses in windows and to improve the energy balance in passive solar systems.2012, Jochen Fricke, Aerogels, →ISBN, page v:
