Someone wrote "water". Styrofoam is much lower. If you have a foam cup of hot water and stick your finger in the water, you feel lots of heat. If you hold the cup, you feel far less heat. One of the keys to the low thermal conductivity of foam is that it's mostly just some gas, maybe air or nitrogen, with a support structure of polystyrene or some other plastic type material. Gases are not good conductors of heat.

The least permeable rocks are those which contain very fine particles such as shale, because there is very little space within their particles to let water through. This is important within the oil industry as shale is often a 'cap rock' and so prevents the oil escaping, leaving it for us to find and use.

In science what does permeability refer to?

It has meanings in both electromagnetism and chemistry/earth sciences. Permeability in electromagnetism in means how receptive a material is to magnetization. Permeability in earth sciences can mean how well a material such as rock can transmit fluids.

What is permeability in electromagnetism?

Permeability is the measure of the ability of a material to support the formation of a magnetic field within itself.(Degree of magnetization that a material obtains in response to an applied magnetic field.) It is represented by the Greek letter μ.
